Creating Lights
Hey guys, I'm a little confused on how to add lights to my game. I tried adding a light_point object in the world editor, but that does not create any light. I already programmed my game.cpp file to load lights, but nothing is turning up. How exactly do I create the light object in the world editor? And do I set its parameters in code or in the editor?

Thanks in advance.

Load "Obj/Light/point.obj" into WE.

RE: Creating Lights
Is it possible to add icon to light, for example like in unity?

When I put light into scene, there is no visible indicator, there is light. When placing hundreds of lights, it is not possible to remember where I put them.

temporary solution: 2 crossed (90 degrees angle) planes with light icon texture and culling turned off wink
