| Quick question, been messing around with lights, is there a way to disable objects within a scene from accepting lighting? Been fiddling around for a while without too much luck. For example before you add any lights everything is flat and fully lit in a scene. A quad showing a texture should look normal. I have some quads with buttons on them but the lighting is all dark with lights in the scene. Is there anyway to exclude them from the lighting? Thanks :) |

| before you add any lights everything is flat and fully lit If it was fully lit, the lights wouldn't do much! Unless you've changed the ambience, no lights = 50% lighting. You can set objects to fullbright using EntityFX entity, 1. The object will then be fully lit and unaffected by lighting. This does mean it'll be pretty bright though. If you want the object to be both unaffected by lighting and also dark, you could try setting the EntityColor to match whatever ambient lighting you originally had for the object (if you're already using EntityColor, you'll have to multiply the two together). |

| Thanks man. EntityFX worked a treat. I knew it would be something simple. That would certainly explain why lights weren't working for me and it was always at 50% lighting. Annoyingly I actually had EntityFX in but deleted it thinking it didn't work :( Anyway, thanks again! :) |
