| - | To create better looking billboards, not all of them should be of the same color, so create another point light and connect the billboards that you think need different colors to other point lights. For simplicitys sake I keep them connected to only 2 point lights.

For simplicitys sake I keep them connected to only 2 point lights, but if you think you need more variation go for more. (Colors changed so you can see better what I did) |

| + | So in the end that loop could control all the billboards and lights needed in a map. The flickering effect might be very small buff to levels looks for the headache it could cause, but keeping billboards connected into lights makes changing colors **MILLION ** times more pleasant. It can also be used to for example: cool scares and changing light coming from outside from day to night | ||
