I am trying to lock a light in place. Is this possible in Python? I can't seem to figure it out. TIA!

Not sure that this is useful for lights, but see attached link.

To get a light to stay in the same place relative to something other than the Universe, it can be parented and pointed at (an invisible prop may be needed for correct targeting).

More details would produce a more exacting answer.

Hey Noel,

What you discussed is exactly what I am trying to do. Someone was asking about parenting lights to an object, holding the lights in position. I was trying to do this using just one primitive for the target, but not actually having the lights pointing at it. I just want the lights to keep whatever position they were already in, but be parented to the prop.

Does this make sense? Thanks for the help. Lou

Okay, I think I worked around it well enough. Thanks.
