Is there a way to have the multilights extension retain the number of bands from the original lantern one?  
If it’s an easy fix someone pls help if not, it’s not a huge deal I just don’t really like how the multilights look (the gradient is too sudden) and I’m planning on using this extension along with mutiplayer soon/

Hey @richard I was wondering if this was true because many of my games and @Luke’s games use shadows a lot. If this is possible, I’d love to know! I’m hoping that this could build a more surreal atmosphere with the lantern extension.

@InvalidProject the multilights extensions isn’t made by me. I do have plans however to expand the shader extension to make things like this easier, but it’s lower on my priority list right now
