For example i already finished creating my map, i already generate lightmaps with shadows and in the time i want to add another small light, do i need to recalculate again the whole lightmaps including the shadow? since calculating with shadows tooks alot of time, is there a way that it will only calculate the lightmap i added not touching the other lightmaps?

It should appear in the selected area, if it appears when you do the normal calculate lightmaps :/.

 

Test it for another lightmaps and check if it's working properly. If it is, then the problem is related to the lightbulb. Maybe there is a model or something that is casting shadows.

It's working now thanks :)

Select the area affected by that light (iirc, you can select it with Ground Selection Mode - aka F2), and then click on calculate selected lightmaps. I will only calculate the selected area.

 

Check my guide on this. Translate it to English for better understanding.
