Light script question and tint question

[Camerous]

I am using a script I found on the internet that has to do with lighting. I'll post the script here in a min. The problem I am having with it is that fact if I use the same light source in the script in more than one spot the 2nd place I use it the script doesn't work. Can anyone tell me why? Here is the script.

I have the picture uploaded and it works the first time I do it but the 2nd time it doesn't. Also in the same places I have an event that changes the tint of the screen and have another one that tints it back to normal on the regular map.. is there a better way of doing it so that when you are in the places I want tinted it is tinted then when you go to leave it automatically changes it back or did I do the right thing by putting another tint event in the world.

EDIT*

Ok I figured out the lighting thing.. it's because I am using an old saved game to test my scripts and since I changed the data in the new version it isn't the same in the old save file. If I start a new game and put the starting point outside my 2nd cave and go in it works fine. Still have the question about the tint event though

I love when I figure something out heh
