Hi Im new to Unity 5 and scripting in general. I have a scene with a whole lot of point lights. These point lights each have a script changing the intensity of the lights randomly (to create a flickering effect). All these lights running this script at the same time however makes the game really laggy. Is there a way for me to control what lights are on due to their proximity to the character controller. That way not all lights will have to run at the same time. Can any one help with this, or even have other suggestions that could work.
Hey, depends on the style of game. If it were say a top down shooter I would say just let occlusion culling do its work (pretty sure this effects point lights). If its first or third person perhaps a large collider with an OnTriggerEnter enabling and disabling on each point light? Or triggers when player enters a certain area?
Hope that points you in the right direction 
Good luck
