Hi!

I made a MODEL-ONLY level w/ Gamestudio, meaning that I can only use dynamic lights (static lights don't work on my models). So I put 10+ lights on my level, but only 8 lit up when I ran it. Isn't A7 supposed to have unlimited dynamic-lights? Anyway, I tried putting "max_lights = 20;" before loading my level, BUT it still doesn't work. Can anyone please help me? I'm new to lighting in 3dgs so I dunno if I did the correct thing.

Thank you all in advance!

With max_lights it's 20 lights total but only 8 per model, maybe thats the reason? But you should see the other lights on other models.

Oh O_O Yes, I only use model lights (model w/ light actions). So w/ model lights, I'm still limited to 8? OH noo... I tried putting WED lights (w/ dynamic turned on) but it has no effect on my level.

Can I like set the limit for model-lights (so it's not "only 8 per model"? Or is max_lights only for WED lights?

Thank you for replying

Max lights is for the maximum lights you see on the screen at the same time. There is no way to have more than 8 per model with todays technology. It doesnt matter if you place the lights in WED or by script.
