Hi there!
So I’m using the Unreal Engine 4.0.2 and I just realised that It is basically imposible to turn off or on a ** Spot Light** or a Point Light (being Stationary or Movable) in iOS. Is this totally true or is there another way to achieve this?
Right now I’m using Blueprints, so when the Player touches a TriggerBox the Spot Light turns on. In my Mac it does work, but on iOS it doesn’t.
So, is there another alternative to achieve this?
I’m using iOS 8.3, OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite and Unreal Engine 4.0.2.
Thanks!
Hi Charly,
Dynamic point and spot lights are not yet supported for mobile. With 4.6 we introduce the ability to use a single dynamic directional light on mobile. There are plans to implement dynamic point and spot lights though.
There have also been a number of improvements with UE4 since version 4.0.2. With the engine being free now you can upgrade to 4.7 and in the next couple of weeks we’ll have 4.8 available if you’re interested.
The mobile preview mode in the editor has also been greatly improved to better represent what you would see on your IOS device.
