Upbge: Lights does not work with groups

[UnidayStudio]

If you add a lamp into a group and then instantiate the group, it will not work.

This is a known limitation, instead use a list of lamps and free / check
them out

@UnidayStudio did you assign yourself to this issue because you want to fix it? :)

[UnidayStudio]

@marechal-p yes. I will investigate it.

How long is that investigation going to take ?

So what's the fix for it ? The workaround is not the fix I'm guessing.

in glsl / forward render you can't have a instance of a lamp - there are
only so many 'fixed' pipeline lamps available anyway.

the workaround is to have a list of lamps, like a library where one can
check out a lamp, and when finished, return it.

this works quite well for me.

to go any further with lamps you will need to swap to a differed pipe,

I see. I was thinking that maybe there was a way to fix it in the source code. Obviously not. OK.
