Hey Guys,
i've got a problem with the reactivated Spotlight logic.
If i set the "HasSpotlight=" tag to a building, the spotlight appears but doesn't turn arround. Here is my Code:

[LAMPE3]
UIName=Name:LAMPE3
Name=Gebietsschranke
Image=GASPOT
BuildCat=Combat
HasSpotlight=yes
Spotlight.StartHeight=250
Spotlight.Distance=1024
Armor=steel
Prerequisite=RAHAND
TechLevel=1
Adjacent=8
ROT=10
Sight=8
Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance,Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs,YuriCountry
AIBasePlanningSide=1 ;gs 0 for Good, 1 for Evil
;AlphaImage=ALPHATST
LightVisibility=5000
LightIntensity=0.01 ;LightIntensity=0.01
LightRedTint=0.01
LightGreenTint=1,7
LightBlueTint=0.01
CanBeOccupied=yes
MaxNumberOccupants=2
CanOccupyFire=yes
Strength=350
Cost=350
BaseNormal=no
Points=30
Power=-5
Crewed=no
Capturable=false
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
DebrisAnims=DBRIS4LG,DBRIS4SM,DBRIS6LG
MaxDebris=2
MinDebris=1
Powered=yes
ThreatPosed=30 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
;DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,LGSparkSys
HasStupidGuardMode=false
ImmuneToPsionics=yes ; defaults to yes for buildings, no for others
;gs these three are in abstract units and just help the AI pick the right base defense. (see AIForcePredictionFudge)


Have anyone a Idea why this doesnt work?
Thanks alot

Read http://modenc.renegadeprojects.com/Spotlights for details. The code will work.

Hmm my tags are already set to:

SpotlightSpeed=.015 ; speed in radians
SpotlightMovementRadius=2000 ; offset of center of arc sweep
SpotlightLocationRadius=1000 ; offset from building
SpotlightAcceleration=.0025 ; acceleration in radians
SpotlightAngle=.5 ; maximum suggest angle of arc sweep

But the Spot doesnt move. He shines only to the top
Any other Ideas?

Those tags must be used on the buildings.

Ahh okay i've used the general settings. I will test it with those tags on the building and then i will post again.

Hmm no it doesn't work.
The Spotlight is still fixed to the top.
Is this a known issue?

Hmm i've seen yet that the game will freeze if i sell the tower which has spotlight tags

That sounds like http://bugs.renegadeprojects.com/view.php?id=937 to me.

Hmm yes the issue describes my problem, but the tower isnt a mcv or a deployable building. Why the error occurs?

Because that fix is not in 0.1 p1, it will only be in 0.2.
