Dynamic (non-static) light problem

[ellmo]

Something really weird is going on in my maps.

Most (like 90%) of the flickering and pulsing dynamic lights, that I put on the maps via Doombuilder, just don't work.

They either stick to the highest or the lowest given intensity value. So they act kinda like malfunctioning static lights.

What seems to be the problem?

Hmm did you try activating them via ACS with Thing_Activate(tid);?

I remember having to do this to get them to work once..

No it wasn't the case.
That's what you get when you read only 10% of the documentation: 90% failure chance

Dynamic lights that change in time, require thing's ANGLE as their sixth argument, to determine how fast they change. Now I know, why some of the lights did work, and others didn't.

Good to know. So it was just a misunderstanding.
