Why won't this light turn on? : IV

» Mon Aug 29, 2011 2:52 pm

Hey, I thought I would dig up the old Oblivion modding and I'm stuck on something quite simple!

I have a a tonne of lights, all linked to one parent light. The parent light is set initially disabled and has a persistant reference (PLHouseLight1REF). I have a script that runs and plays a bunch of sounds and also enables the light "PLHouseLight1REF.enable". The only thing is, this doesn't do anything for me! If i set the light to be enabled in the editor then everything works grand, and I know the script is running because all the other stuff it does works great. So, why isn't this light turning on?

Thanks,

Peter

I have found the source of the problem. This is a windows 7 bug with Oblivion. The script and lights work perfectly on an XP laptop. How strange.
