Description
MP compatible script you can use to create omni lights, spot or decorative lights.
I use this script to add light for night time missions so they can be played without NVGs or to create light points to iluminate or decorate areas.

Is not supported ATM. I took a break from Arma, dunno when is going to end if ever.
However the script is simple and basic and should still work.
If the demo mission works then it should work in your mission as well.
For more info about using my scripts check these out.

Keep it up!

Is this still supported?

Also very noob question, I have subscribed to this, but I cannot see anything in my steam workshop. Where do I find the script?

@Warhammer Actual
No noticeable effect on FPS, however the number of lights rendered in field of view is limited to 32 or so and they will start flickering at some point if they are too many

Hi. I love all of your work ot is amazing. This script does it effect fps if you have too many white static lights say in an aircraft hangar? There's about 20 of them in a fairly small space.

with 6 lights you should be fine, it shouldn't be the issue

Thanks ALIAS my feeling is ive got too many lights within a in a small area, about 6 light sources in a 20m area. Which doesnt seem like it should be too many. But anyhow. Will carry on fiddling around until i get it right.

There are few things to consider:
- there is a parameter in light definition which sets the distance for light visibility and you can tweak that
- the engine limits the number of lights and if you have too many in an area some of them will go on and off
- i don't think i did this but in any case double check maybe i have an while or waituntil waiting for player to get close in order for the light to be visible

Hey seems like a good one, but whats the difference between this and the light cones that come with eden? I have the same problem with this script as i do with the eden light cones. The light only comes on when the player is within a close proximity to the light. Which is a bit annoying, i want to be able to see the light from far away. It only comes on when im within a few metres of it.. There should be a difference between brightness and how far away you can see it. A dull light that is perfect illumination when close by should still be visible a few hundred meters away.. If i put down a light that is meant to just light up a small area, not light up the whole country, i still want to be able to see that light source from far off.. Like the street lights, you can see them far away. Im struggling to get the light cones to work properly..:steamsad:

Try to hide the device, light effect should be still visible i think
