les, A while ago, you posted some stuff on parented lights as props (see link). Well, I'm having some minor problems maybe you can help with. First off, I've already tried parenting the lights to the cr2, which is a terrace with 2 lamp-posts on it. I had 2 lights parented to each lamp-post. But the major problem with parenting to a cr2 is that certain channels are stripped out, so the user has to manually adjust the shadow value and map size every time. Is there any way round this? I'd really prefer to stick with the cr2 parenting. Anyway, if not, I could make the lights props, but I'm not quite getting it. You said 'A light saved to the light pallet keeps its parenting intact, but if you convert it to a pp2 or cr2, an extra step is necessary to preserve the parenting, the parent item must be declared, for example if the light is parented to the MAIN_CAMERA the start of your file would look like this: { version { number } camera MAIN_CAMERA { } This is in addition to the normal "parent MAIN_CAMERA" line in the definition block.' What definition block? You said to add a doc statement to the lt2 file, so where does the difinition block come from? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. Also, how would I declare the parents if there are two of them? TIA mac
