: Why is it with JED when you calculate lights when you go into your levels the lighting never seems right.
: Lights follow you along walls and are jetblack on some textures and not on others. I've noticed it in other peoples levels too. Is this a fault with Jed? Or am I doing something wrong?
For a saber (or anything) to reflect light off of a surface, the surface must have SOME light already there - which means, if you do not have any lights that reach the surface, the saber won't reflect any light. If, however, you have a little bit shining on there, the saber will reflect light. Just put a light near the surface, but make it very dim, with the range very high....Hope this helps.
