How are you trying to add the lights.

[Nimverus]

well using planes , just like the way u use one with water but when i do it all it still ends up have sapien to close down

[Hunter]

make sure that your shaders are right and to make the area around the plane light up then u need to add lights in sapien as well. and then re do lightmaps.

how did i add lights in sapien, theres not selection where i could do that

In the hierarchy view window, open up objects, then devices. In there you'll find 'light fixtures'. You'll find a decent amount of lights in 'tags\levels\b30\devices\light fixtures\'. Like Hunter said, you'll need to re-run lightmaps for them to work. If I remember correctly, you'll get an FPS drop if you place too much in one area.

but when you re do the lightmaps you dont need to delete your old lightmaps, just re do that command and they will update.
