You can send more detailed information here

#

Like I said before, a realtime light should be able to light up static surfaces with baked lights just fine, as long as the material shader supports it

#

@warped moon im so sorry for late response.. this is my flashlight settings

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

Nothing unusual here

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

i didnt understand about "material shader"

#

why cant i see my flashlight light :((

#

glacial sigil i didnt understand about "material shader"

What material is your world geometry using? The ones with the baked lightmapping

warped moon What material is your world geometry using? The ones with the baked lightmapping

wdym what material?

#

i mean geometry one

#

i have this on all of my static objects

warped moon https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Materials.html

im using... different materials?

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:28 PM

#

What?

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

warped moon What?

every object on my scene has its own material

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:30 PM

#

Yes, often they do
The material's shader should be one that supports realtime lights
There aren't many shaders that only support baked GI, but still some so it's a possible culprit

#

If that doesn't seem to be the problem I'd look into limits on realtime lights potentially imposed by quality settings

you mean this?

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

No

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-QualitySettings.html

#

Pixel light count is another potential problem
If you already have lights in your scene that are capping the limit, that would explain why more don't show up

#

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:34 PM

#

There we go

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:34 PM

#

warped moon Pixel light count is another potential problem If you already have lights in you...

what limit?

#

sry im a beginner emoji_17

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:42 PM

#

glacial sigil what limit?

Pixel light count

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:43 PM

#

warped moon Pixel light count

whats that about

#

wait

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:44 PM

#

glacial sigil whats that about

I'll give you one guess and then I'll point you to read the manual page I linked 😉

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:44 PM

#

i noticed that on one of my object

#

i can see the light

#

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:47 PM

#

So, what's the next step?

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

warped moon So, what's the next step?

using forward rendering?

#

or smth/

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:49 PM

#

You are using forwward rendering

#

Did you increase the pixel light count yet

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

warped moon Did you increase the pixel light count yet

no

#

i cant find how to do it

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:51 PM

#

glacial sigil i cant find how to do it

I believe the variable is right in front of you to increase it you'll just have to ...type a bigger number in

#

The reason it's so low currently is because you're using Very Low quality level which disables most of visual effects

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

like this?

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

Why not

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

or more

#

how much it depends on perfomance?

#

thats a VR project

warped moon Dec 26, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

8 is considered a lot

#

usually

#

But it's just the maximum limit of lights per object
The performance depends on how many lights you have, which depends on how many you choose to place or create

#

But that should solve the flashlight problem

glacial sigil Dec 26, 2022, 2:54 PM

#

IT DID

#

OMG

#

I WAS TRYING TO SOLVE THIS LIKE A WEEK

#

@warped moon YOU ARE MY HERO

#

OH MY GOOOOOOD

glacial sigil Dec 28, 2022, 11:03 AM

#

@warped moon sorry for the ping, but.. So it worked at first time, but now my flashlight doesnt work again :(( Pixel Light Count was set to 8, i tried pasting 16 but it still doesnt work. can you help me?

warped moon Dec 28, 2022, 6:42 PM

glacial sigil <@166982635950702592> sorry for the ping, but.. So it worked at first time, but ...

"it worked and now it doesn't" is really not a lot of information to go on, unfortunately

glacial sigil Dec 28, 2022, 6:42 PM

that was actually my fault, im really sorry for pinging you

#

my Pixel Light Count somehow dropped to 0

#

it now works*
