Lighthing and layers

Hello !

I am having trouble using two layers and a lighthing layer.
My project has a background and a button (on layer1), then another layer (layer2) with a room and a candle and there is the light layer.

I would like to have the background and the button NOT affected by the light but the candle and all futur element of the room affected by the light.

But I cant manage to set things up properly.

Is it possible ?
Thanks a lot !

In the editor, in the layers panel, the layers have an order. If you don’t want a layer to be affected by light, you must move that layer above the lighting layer. That order defines which layer is seen above the others.
I don’t know how it would work on a layer that is behind the rest but doesn’t have to be affected by light.

Thanks for your help !
The thing is, the layer I dont want to be affected by the light is the layer with my background. So if I put it above the other 2 layers, those 2 layers will be totally hidden…

I was looking for a way to make the layer behind the base layer not affected by light, but I couldn’t do it. I tried to modify the ambient color of the light of each layer separately, but from what I was testing, each of the layers is not modified separately. Maybe it’s a bug or I’m doing something wrong.

I do think its working correctly. Its just my request that must be non logical =p
If its a background it should be behind everything else. So the light will definitly affect it.
But nevermind, I just double think about it today, and I will make the background not full so that, even in front of the other part of the scene, it wont hide it !

Thanks for trying to help me anyway.

im happy to help but always check your grammar, ‘lighthing’ has a red zigzag under it.

is that a thing that lies?
