Hey guys... tell me I'm just not seeing something.

Remember the Candle Thread?

I need to change the falloff in the one light I have in this file.

What's happening is every time I select any kind of falloff other than NONE, hit OKAY, it defaults back to NONE with 100% illumination!

I've uploaded the file here

There's only one light in the scene.

THAT IS SPOOKY! It seems to be fine but on the 2nd or 3rd attept at opening the settings it reverts back to 100% no falloff....also note the lack of any visual things when you set the falloff (the handles in viewport...)

But if you add another light it works fine! Only thing I can think of is the light was in a HyperNURBS obj...can this affect things?

Ok I have got it now :)


Try double clicking on the ok button next time see if that makes any difference.I find strange things happen with my light window buttons often,ie open light setup window and shadow and illum boxes are kind of greyed out,on closing and re opening all is fine.Another is I can open a light setup window set say 100 yellow,close the box go away come back re open it will be 50 or 60 or something,but once again when I close it and re open once more its fine again.

Delete (or set it in) the lights parameter track (the current settings are keyframed).

DOI!!!

Vicktor, you're right!

When I made this I simply imported my candle file which I'd already animated...
