There are no natural lights.

Exactly, so how do can you make the unbreakable lights being "natural lights" if there's no huge window on the ceiling?

mmm fair point .i love how this thread made so much controversy xD /chaos ,

Continue.

Gui, then you make the lights in the (movie) theater have a plastic covering if you dont' want them to be breakable.  Did you not see the whole post?  OR, you can make the ones in the theater breakable.  OR, you could have the light coming from an unreachable place, such as the projector room.  Basically what I was saying in that big post with pics is that there are ways to make incomplete "dynamic" lighting believable - and not that just some identical lights are breakable and some aren't.

and westfall, he was talking about the Lake House.

But the mercs also can disable the lights by shooting at them...How can a plastic-cover protect against a merc's bullet?

Why would a merc want to disable a light?  Think of those lights in club house.  The ones standing upright on the floor.  Hard enough glass.  And you did see the other option right?  Natural lights?  There are plenty of ways to do this. How about candles or fireplaces?

I used to break all the lights on the second floor of Orphanage when I was bored waiting for the spies to show up...

Poison mines also blended with the dark if the spy isn't using his visions. So there was another reason to break lights for merc.

Farley4Fan

still pretty unimportant.  There are plenty of ways to make lights unbreakable.

total bullshit. in a darker room the spy is way more likely to run around with thermal vision and poison mines are usually hidden behind corners anyways.
the darker it get's the more advantage the spies have, dot.

The entire room doesn't necessarily have to be dark, just a corner to fit a poison and/or a spy trap. A dark wall would also hide a poison mine from the spies naked eye.

Westfall

again...revert back to Rambo's post. Thermal vision will easily expose a poison mine in a dark room. Especially knowing that spies quickly loop through their visions. How often are you changing through your visions as a spy?

Lol, Kronf, from nowhere, from 3-point land, for the win!  HE GOT IT!

And there wasn't even any controversy, at all.  Kronf speaks the truth.
