Lightning Issues

[Megafyr]

When I place light doodads, to light up places in my map, the doodads only show up at some locations. Wtf is wrong? : |

EDIT:

 

[Celaquil]

What about giving us screenshots of what your meaning? And I think its a bit odd to use a lightning (lyn) as lighting

 

[Megafyr]

Uhm.. Yeah, wasn't thinking about (lyn)... Sorry if that made any misunderstandings.. I thought of lights. Here is a screenshot:

It can't be fixed and its cause warcraft 3 fails at light.

have you tried to lower or raise the light doodads doodads? ^^

Yeah, it doesn't make any difference. : (

I think there is a maximum of lights warcraft can have in a square.

Try test how many light doodas you can have close to each others before it
gets fuckt up.

Yeah, WC3 is like that. It can only support X amount of lights in a small area... usually it just makes massively retarded square shit with lighting :}

So when I place light doodads at the end of a square they won't show up?

could it be that this problem exist only since a little time? (perhaps since patch?)
i can remember a time that i had no problems with lights except for little mistakes on the terrain but doodads were ever affectet by them. and now it seems that some lights (particularly from ingame models like torch or laterns) dont work and desappear with a special camera angle and dont appear again.

No, no, no.

That only happens in-game, when it divides the lighting sharply on the 512*512 grid. This is not your problem here (this can also be negated to some extent by increasing your graphics settings, namely:lights (possibly turning occlusion on as well).

But, I digress. That ain't your problem here. Sorry to say I dunno whut is. Upload the map, perhaps?

its wc3.

its common glitch. It sucks balls.

the only advise i can give is to put the doodads in a place where the lighting wont bug ( move it around, see where and were it wont bug )
