Level Design HELP: Light Effects Not Working

[NomNOM_]

I looked all over the place and I still cannot find a solution. Are light effects just obsolete? I read that only trigger lights would work but they would bleed through the walls and not cast shadows. I don't mind this but it still did not work. I tried different ones like Pulse, Flicker and Blink to no avail, and yes I have bDynamicLight set to True. In the end though, in play test noticed flashing on my character and nearby ammo but none on the walls.
Does anyone know how I can get a working light with these effects?

Those light effect do just work properly on TriggerLights.
Have you set "TriggerLight->bInitiallyOn" flag to true? Otherwise it won't work when the match starts because it has to be "triggered" beforehand.

 

[NomNOM_]

Yes I tried that too and there was no difference.

 

[SMIFF]

well if bInitiallyOn = true didn't work but you say you saw flickering on your character, it might just be that the light radius is too small

 

[NomNOM_]

The light radius is 64.

Okay so here's my amazing huge map

The light that isn't on is the trigger light, please tell me what is wrong!

The problem is in your display settings, you must have Dynamic Lighting active in order to see the Trigger Light actors working. I had the same problem the first time I was trying to work with trigger lights

Here one of my TriggerLights testmaps it's only 27,03 KB, it may be helpful in the future.

[SMIFF]

yeah it's working fine for me, must be your display settings

Oh I see now, thanks
But question: isn't that the thing most people turn off because of firebug? And therefore I should abandon dynamic lighting in my map?
