It is possible to turn off all ground lights?

[Toni Carrera]

Hi All,

As the title says, is it possible, obviously on a Night Mission, to, on a trigger, to shut down all ground lights? I mean Street Lights, building lights etc etc

I am planning on perhaps working on a mission similar to the one in the Documentary 'Apache Warrior', which is obviously is a very very true story, and when they were approaching the outer city, the military shut down the power grid

Just wondered whether that was possible to simulate such an event?

Thanks

Toni

No. Currently, most of the lights you mention aren't really "lights" but merely bright textures painted on the ground/buildings that look like they are lights. They cast no shadows, nor will they illuminate objects around them. This is done primarily for performance reason, and since few people ever notice it, shows how well it works. The downside, of course, is that you can't switch it off.

Fair enough, I guess that makes sense

Thanks @cfrag
