Question refer to TGEA.
I'm trying to make a sunlight on my map. But i have no idea how to do it. I didn't found anthing for this in Lightning Editor, or Particle Editor.
Can you give me any link to documentation, or tell me, how to do it?

I use TGE, but I'm 95% sure the editors work the same way.

Open the mission you want to edit. After it's loaded, press F11. Then, go to the Mission Creator. In your inspector window on the right side, expand the environment view, then create a Sun property. The rest should be self explanatory. To give a better idea of where your sun is positioned, you can also create an FxSun object, which is an animated image that is positioned wherever your sun is. Have fun!
