Hello Everyone

Using V1.20 with Black Ice mode 17A.
Having issue with my Dynamic lights where they only seem to appear when in a certain range of the light. If i move backwards and forwards on the outer range of the dynamic light it goes on and off completely. I was hoping to have lights linked to a switch but as they are not staying permanently on in dynamic mode I can't.

Does anyone have any IDea why I am experiencing this bug in my build.

Thank you for your time

Hi Wolfcry
You probably have several close together in the same room/area, correct ?
Dynamic lights have always been a problem for DX9. I think the limit on dynamic lights for dx9 was 6 ??? maybe 8. I'm not %100 sure.
Anyway, try using only static lights and where you really need dynamic ones limit it to only one or two in one area. Try not to "overlap" their light distance.
You can get several dynamic lights to stay on ( good testing is needed here ) by using a "switch" with the "lightoff.fpi script attached to the light marker.
Remember to name all the lights your activating with a switch with the same name. The Official Comm. Guide in your doc's folder is a great place to look for answer to question like this

Yeah thats correct. I have no natural light in the game as the ambience is at 0. The game is quite dimly lit for ambiance where i use wall lamps instead of full room lights. I wanted the lamps to turn on via one switch. Is it mainly if the light markers overlap that this issue will arise? Some rooms are small and I could remove a light but in hallways etc I don't want tthe light to overexpose the opposite wall with brightness.
