Why won't point lights work on terrain?

[anon_3645415]

I’m trying to put in a point light but it won’t shine on the terrain. any help or suggestions?

This isn’t supported in Unity 2.0.2.

Aras does mention:

@Aras Pranckevicius

In Unity 2.0.2, only directional lights can affect terrain. Other lights, shadows, projectors and whatnot on terrain are coming in Unity 2.1 soon-ish.
