Hello!

I was not sure where to post it and it seemed such a beginner's question, so I thought I'd post it here.

I haven't got A7 yet, so right now I am experimenting with the free Lite-C version available at the download page. I have created several map entities (with the WED from my A6.60 pro) and placed them in an otherwise empty level. Then I defined another map entity and gave it a positive lightrange value, set its light flag etc.

Strangely the map entities didn't receive any lights. Then I added a model into the level - and then it worked. The model AND the map entities received light... but this only works if the model is in view of the camera. If the model is not visible, no map entities receive dynamic light, even if they are in range.

Is this intended behaviour? I am not even sure which engine version runs when I start the free Lite-C, I assume it is A7, but I am not sure...

Thanks in advance for anyone who can clarify this. :-)
