Hi there !

I`ve got a big big problem with light switches. They just dont seem to work. Ive read all topics about this in the whole forum but i found absolutely nothing which helped me.

i placed a light in a dark room , set it to static. the lights name is "Light". then i placed a switch in the level and set at IF USED = Light. If i turn the swich on and off , nothing happens except the switch is bright or dark.

i also tried to load lightoff.fpi to the lights startscript so youve to turn on the light before you can see anything. doesnt work either.

ive never seen working dynamic light switches in any fpsc game. so....tell me please if you know it. how is it possible ?

Thanks

yeah...thats the ticket !

The light should be dynamic, not static.

The "if use" name on the switch has to match the name of the dynamic light you are trying to turn on/off.

Ok i got it !!!!

Dynamic lights are not possible when you want to have shader effects.

THATS A BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG PROBLEM !!!!
i dont want to make a game without shader effects. every game today
uses shader effects. and why the hell is it not possible to use dynamic lights with shaders ?????

yeah...thats the ticket !

Change the if used script to lighton.fpi
