Light/compile problem Created 20 years ago2004-06-20 06:18:57 UTC by Seanrct

I am making a map for CS, and the map was comiling and running perfectly, until yesterday, when I changed some stuff. When I try to compile it, it got too the 'Build Face Lights' part of the compile, and this error was displayed:

Warning: Too many direct light styles on a face <496.000000, -880.000000, -511.000000>

I assume the numbers in the <> are co-ordinates, but does anyone know how to fix this (or what it means)? I am using the Zoner compile tools.

You have too many entity based lights shining on a particular area. The easy way to fix this is to remove lights from an area that has a lot. The max amount of lights you can shining on one face is three. If you are triggering them on, trigger them all at the same time by giving them the same name. Also, for future reference, click here as this topic as been brought up a lot around here. Search the forums next time.

Hope I helped

Thanks, i have removed some lights, and is fixed now. I will search more as well next time I get a problem like that.
