How to stop light turning off when far from it

Hi! How can I prevent some lamps (Fortnite props) from fading when you are far from it? As you can see in the images, when you are close the light can be seen but when you are far it turns off. This happens with some lamps but doesn’t with others. Is there any setting I can tweak?


Have checked the children of the lamp, as the attached lights have settings as well.

The problem is that I don’t know which setting I have to change. Which one disables the fading?

Ah I see, it might be like the Bridge Girder Lamp, there is no light attachment for that prop, the glow must be a material effect.
You’ll hafta add a light source in front of it, then you can tweak it.

The light is the rig light, which does have a point light in it, but I can’t find out which setting I have to change.

eek editor crash, I made several and changed lots of settings, restarting…

The point light that comes with the Rig Light is locked to dissappearing at 3000 units, cannot be increased or set to 0.

In the editor move back from it until it disappears, then move the slider for Max Draw Distance in the Point Light and you will see it, as soon as you let go of the mouse click it reverts back to 3000.

Adding a point light from the quickly add to project button has no such limits, the default straight up is set to max draw distance of 0 which is max possible and stops shining a few hundred thousand units away

I think you need to add an additional point light source & set its max draw distance to your needs

Thanks for your help, I will create an aditional spotlight!
