Spotlight problems Options

Now I was testing my mod and made the spotlight tower, when I realized that the spotlight only stayed on the right, doing 180s and not 360 degrees, I was wondering what would have caused this, I've never had a problem like this.

This is not possible without the use of map triggers.

but you can do a workaround, by removing the spotlight and giving the tower a dummy weapon that creates at the target a glowing light.

The glowing light could either be done using a new explosion anim that is just a white circle with 75% translucency or an alphalight applied to a particlesytem on the weapons warhead.
But i never tried alphalights on particlesystem so i don't know if they even work. If they work, the particle system would be necessary to make the alphalight glowing longer than just a millisecond.
Maybe you're also able to make it work like the emp effect where the anim follows the unit even while it moves.
