Dumb question: spot lights?

I'm feeling really dumb at the moment. I can't seem to get spot lights to work at all in my little test track in the viewer. Are cars the only things that can use spot lights? I have 'omni' enabled on my instances (I can see omni light on my geo).

Here is my scn file entry:

Code:

Light=TestSpotlight01
{
 Type=Spot Pos=(24.001347, 9.397177, -42.447098) Dir=(-0.000000,-1.000000,-0.000000) Hotspot=(42.900002) Attenuate=None Range=(0.000000, 10.000000) Active=True Intensity=(10.000000) Color=(255, 0, 255)
}

The position is accurate, it's right next to my omni. I'm stumped.

I checked the TrackTechnology.pdf, I've checked the wiki, I've searched the forum. What stupid thing am I doing wrong that I seem to be the only one who can't properly create spot lights.

Thanks in advance!

 

So, having a look at Joesville and Silverstone, all of the lights are omni's. It's seeming more and more that the likely answer is that a track cannot have spot lights.

 

Thanks Luc!

 

Omni lights don't create shadows but feels3 had a nice solution to this.
