solved How layermasks are supposed to work?

Hi,

This is probably a misunderstanding on my part, but how can I get the light to shine on either of the objects in the PG?
Meshes work just like I thought, I can display either of them by changing the bitmask.

Hi @Ridge Batty

Something seems odd when setting the light's layerMask first, 
When the light is checking the masks, these values comes out;

light's "internal"  layerMask = 536870912  (  0x20000000 )
Mesh's "internal" layerMask = 268435455  (  0x10000000 ),

Both meshes displays the number for 0x1 ,  even through one of them actually has 0x2.

moving the line setting light's include layermask down below the meshes creation, seems to fix it.

 

Error can be seen here in console; http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#XUH5GR#1

Working sample; http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#XUH5GR#2  ( "light.includeOnlyWithLayerMask" moved to line #37)

Thanks, that seems to do what I was aiming for.

I'll try if this strategy works in my project which is quite a bit more complicated... Would be great to know if this is intended behavior.

Actually this should work but I had a bug in my resync scenario. Changing the mesh layer mask was not triggering the update of active lights.

This is fixed now 

Thanks for reporting!

Excellent!
