Hello,
I am trying to create a custom RayLight within my shaders Output routine:

  
Vector JLSData::Output(PluginShader *chn, ChannelData *cd)  
{  
     if (GET_TEX_CHANNEL(cd->texflag) == CHANNEL_ALPHA || GET_TEX_CHANNEL(cd->texflag) == CHANNEL_TRANSPARENCY) return 1.0;  
     VolumeData *vd=cd->vd;  
     if (!vd) return Vector(0.0);  
     BaseObject     *obj=vd->op->link;  
     RayLight     *licht=AllocRayLight(obj);  
     if (!licht) return Vector(0.0);  

The allocation of my "licht" RayLight fails all the time. Could someone shed some light on this

It seems the object passed to AllocRayLight() needs to be a light object.
