Lights? [Figured it out]

Lights? [Figured it out]

Postby CreativeOcclusion » 31 Oct 2015, 18:34

I have added a point light to my scene...In the play in editor, the light shows up as a black box...In the play in player it shows up as a bright star with "P" on it...Is there a way to hide these so they won't show when playing the game?...I know it must be a simple setting but I cannot find it...Thanks

[EDIT]...I figured it out...I just set the scale of the light to 0,0,0...
Thanks, CreativeOcclusion

They should be hidden in game mode, but we have not got around to that one yet. We also just set the scale to 0,0,0 to get around the problem :)

Yea, took me a little while to figure that out...It is nice to be able to see it for positioning purposes...maybe putting a check on or off in the light properties would work good...

Yes it does need some sort of help widget upgrade as all of the items such as the light were for a very long time low priority. But more and more we are finding ourselves in the the Skyline studio creating larger and advanced scenes where helper widgets are needed but not all of the time. ;)
