I have a bit of a problem with this system I'm working on, Can anyone help?
The LWS file adds lights to your star, so it can be seen from a long way away, like real stars, right?
This is pretty simple to do if your star is at 0,0,0 (system center) but how do I add another light to another star in the system, I have no idea how to place it correctly, or where to start. :)

Cheers,
Greb

It's as simple as copying and pasting a light entity within the lws file. Then on your new light, change the name to something else (I doubt it matters), and change it's possition coordinates. The coords would be these ones here:
Code:
AddLight LightName <star> ShowLight 1 7 LightMotion (unnamed) 9 1 <font color="red"> 0 0 0</font id="red"> 90 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 EndBehavior 1 LockedChannels 48 LightColor 239 227 141 LgtIntensity 1.350000 LightType 0 ShadowType 1
Looking at the example from systems from the game, it does not appear that the position is in the usual meters. Perhaps give km a try, or thousand km; just try stuff like that and you'll probably have the star placed in no time.
