HELP / My spot lights are not working

[spice snow]

idk what do to or why it is like this, ive tried everything i couldve thought of

[fiery fog]

Make sure the surface uses a lit material, and can be lit by other light sources
Then move the spot light along its blue arrow very close to the surface

This ensures the range limit doesn't cut off the light, and that intensity isn't too low as lights are exponentially brighter closer to the source

[spice snow]

i also tried that but nothing

the material is just a basic u nity cube with white material

[fiery fog]

Do you have other lights in the scene that do work?

[spice snow]

yes, pointed lights work perfectly fine

[fiery fog]

Try disabling all lights except the spot

It may be a light limit issue

Creating a new default cube or other mesh and moving it up to the light should also work

Just for the sake of testing I'd boost the light intensity a lot, at least to 100

And increase range too, as it doesn't ensure reach of the light, but limits and fades out the light

[spice snow]

i tried all of this

also no limits are set :/

could it be that somethings wrong w my general light settings? cuz i had to make the scene all dark

[fiery fog]

Is the light in this picture enabled?

And what are its properties

Every light has a range limit

I guess there might be a setting that disables spot lights, but I don't recall ever seeing one

[fiery fog]

Can you show the scene view next to it too?

And increase range and intensity as I suggested

[spice snow]

it literally jsut started working

i clicked on this icon to go into the view mode and it just worked

[fiery fog]

Point and spot (punctual) lights are covered by the same settings

So the only culprit I can think of would be per-object light limit
