Light not disappearing

[Rufus]

Hi!
I have a unit with an attached torchlight.
When the unit moves, and the player doesn't see it move, the lightning effect remains where it was last seen by the player (or where it was on map init if the player have nod not seen it), and is only moved to the unit it is attached to when that unit becomes visible to the player.
PS: The camera is locked to the player unit if that means anything.

How do one fix this?

EDIT: Also, is it possible to preload lights? I have one big light that covers a room. However, it isn't "turned on" until I see its source on screen. When I leave the room, the lightning remains turned on.

Could you attach a demo? (I don't very understand)

It could be very well just be the actual special effect. However, as IcemanBo said, it would be best to attach a demo map.

Oh, of course!
Here's the map it is bugging in. Just follow the cave north-west, and you should encounter the bugs.

EDIT: Added map to op instead.

It's so much faster to test a good prepared demo than having to search through triggers, etc.^^ Here is new demo attached.

So, the situation is the attached effect makes some light, but its position gets only updated when the unit visible to the player. When the unit gets for example out of screen, the attached effect will stay at border somewhere, and won't move on with the unit anymore. That's all still visible to the player.

Not sure, maybe one can try to work with unit sight radius and fog of war instead of working with custom light effects, but you probably don't want that. Or maybe units can be periodically moved along with the spiders to mimic such light. Sounds a bit costy, but might maybe work.

Sorry, I was lazy....

Moving a unit that uses the light model causes the same thing to happen.
So does creating light special effects.

Damn, what is this shiet?
I guess I'll have to skip their glow. :'(
