I played this Map Pack called Strangeworld and in the First Map it goes from Day to Night as you Progress through the Level.
How do you set up Lighting like that?
It has Trigger Lights next to Regaler Lights could that cause that?

Re: Lighting Question.
Hiya 
yup it's done with TriggerLights.
You can use the setting ChangeTime for it. This is the time the light will take from full on to off or from off to full on. You can do some neat things with it.

Re: Lighting Question.
Hi
yes, like the name already says. Normally something must trigger the actor to make it work.
As an example the change from day to night in Strange1:
You set the TriggerLight up like a normal Light. In this case the TriggerLight looks like daylight. Under Object/InitialState you set how the TriggerLight should be used. Here it is set to OtherTriggerTurnsOff, that means as soon as this light is triggered by something it will turn off.
With TriggerLight/bInitiallyOn you set if this light is On or Off at mapstart, here it is set to On of course. And TriggerLight/ChangeTime gives the time the light will need to go totally Off. In Strange1 it takes about 7 minutes, must be something around 400 or 450 seconds. If you leave it set to the default value of 0, the light would turn off at once.
If you are interested in more and better explanations than I could do I would recommend this:

You will find lots of cool things in it and also many informations about Light actors and how to use them.

Also How do you make the Regular Light next to the TriggerLight turn off with your TiggerLight?

Re: Lighting Question.
Ah, I see. The regular Lights don't change, they stay always the same. Only the TriggerLights change.
In Strange1 are a bunch of TriggerLights inside the map and also some in the skybox. Right at mapstart all these TriggerLights are triggered and they start to slowly fade from full on to off. In the end it looks like a night ambient. The rest light you see then are the regular Lights.
