Actor lighting issue

Slight flaw, in the fact that I don't need to shine the light on him in order to make him glow. Is there any workarounds?

Nope, I don't think so...I think that's just the way RF handles actor lightning.

This might be a bug. Which entity or effect are you using to make the light?

The RF source seems fine to me, the issue must be in the Genesis3d code.
Have you tried to make the arc of the spotlight smaller?

I would consider this a bug, the actor should only be lit if it is really lit by a SpotLight.

It is a bug in Genesis 3D. Actor lighting does not work with normal world lighting. Actors have their own lighting. Lighting needs to be consistent for world and actors to work correctly.
