So what does it say to be a fatal error?
Perhaps you can show me you script.
Weird. I tried the map outside of development mode and it worked fine to the extent of not crashing. Of course my spotlights and such were busted because this is my first ever map and I'll just need to adjust things. Can I switch my question to how Spotlights work?
Spotlights are lights that can be changed in size and direction. When shadows for it are enabled, anything that has a side, will prevent light from shining through it. If the spotlight has a gobo, then you can use it for windows or anything else, if done correctly. And of course you can change the color of the light with R, G, B, and A. I'm not exactly sure what "A" does, for it doesn't appear to make that much of a difference on a light.
You can also experiment and have the spotlight flicker, which is useful when having thunder and lightning.
