Light turning off at seemingly random angles

The light is set to Important for RenderMode and I'm not exceeding the number of important lights I'm allowing in my project settings. It's a child of the player but isn't obstructed based on anything I can see. I've looked at old forum posts and either they went unanswered or had a different problem (like needing to make the light Important). I've attached a couple screenshots and can get any other info you guys need.

If it's of any help, the player model is the little visible light orb centered in the camera view (yellow in the scene view) and the problem light is a point light above the player model (white in the scene view).

It's only a slight different in the actual lighting, but when you're playing and it randomly flickers on/off it's extremely distracting to players.

 

The player has the two lights attached, neither of which have a flare. And just to cover all the bases, if you meant Flare Layer or Lens Flare, the player has neither of those. The player has two Particle Systems, the Main Camera, and on the root object it has normal player things like a mesh filter and renderer, collider, rigidbody, and a few scripts for controls and particle-related things.

You mention Ignore Layers and a Light Flare component - could you tell me more about those or perhaps point me to a tutorial?

 

This is the visible light source that the player is (yellow orb in view of camera)
And this is a point light attached to the player to brighten nearby surroundings.

And just in case it's relevant, this is the only other nearby light source. I did some further testing, and it appears as if this may actually be the light that's turning off. The thing I know for sure is that the problem is very sensitive to camera angle. Someone suggested that it may be getting culled by some behind-the-scenes optimization that I just wasn't aware of, so I'm not sure if that raises any flags for you. Thank you again for helping and I apologize for the delay in responding - school schedule is rough lol.

 

Sure, what would be the recommended way to share the project? (Sorry if that's a silly question, I am quite the novice) I don't believe yet that it's a bug, so that option sounds better

 

I have this same issue did anyone find a solution?

 

Hi,
I had the same problem.
Turning "Render Mode" (bottom of light insperctor) from "Auto" to "Important" solved the problem.

 

Thanks Gras! This helped me. Im wondering if this is the right solution performance-wise or if there is a wiser solution. But it is working now for me atleast.

if anyone else has trouble finding the render mode Gras mentions, he is speaking of the light component inside the objects inspector. I thought he meant the Lighting tab(which I always kinda considered an inspector for the general lighting situation).

 

you're a lifesaver I spent 3 hours trying to figure it out and found this post thank you so much sir

 

I have the same issue but don't know how to solve it , as I am a newbie to unity can anyone tell me what to do exactly
to solve this problem. In my project setting the render mode to important does not work at all.. What should I do ???

 

Hi, what render pipeline are you using? The default 3D template or URP?

How many real-time lights are there in the scene?
