Is it possible to change the lighting of a cell

Post » Tue Apr 12, 2011 7:10 am

I have an interior cell which i want to make dark at night and very light in the day. Unfortunately the cell is massive so without placing masses of lights is there any way to do this?

The idea is that during the day it is a well lit interior but during the night the player must sneak in and it should have a completely different feel to it.

I realise I could make a dupe cell for night time and have the outer door enable at a certain time and the "day door" disable, but this seems such a messy way of doing it?

Thanks for the help in advance =D

Just choose "Behave Like Exterior" under "Lighting" and choose the climate you want.

:)

Or you could make your own Climate, so the lightest is still dark enough to be believable, if you're making the inside of a building, or something like that.

Or you could use two or four pair of light bulbs with a large light radius and enable/disable them by script.

But the suggestion in the above post is the most easy way of doing it :D

O, and:

Don't forget to make sure the weather inside your cave is always clear! You can't have any rainy days inside your cave :D
