Hello there
I have a problem using light sources as doodad (in this case, the glowing light model by neogaidenx). Often the light effect doesn't appear on the editor and/or ingame, seems to depend where I place it (appears more likely next to corners though). I tried different heights etc, nothing changes. So I can't place those light source where I want, it's kind of frustrating...
I'm still wondering if it's a problem inherent with my computer or with the editor. Maybe someone experience the same problem?
Thanx for your help by advance :)

as I said I use it as main model for a doodad that I place to create light ambiance, not as an attachment for unit. The problem is not with the glowing light model itself, but with any light source I use (the light of default post lantern doodad for instance). Sometimes it shows the light effect, and sometimes not...
