# Tool Settings (old)
## Light Data
The Light Data settings are mostly for Debug/Performance tools. Checking how your probes are being lit, and performance of your lights and shadows placed around the map. Extremely useful for performance as you will know if there are hotspots to adjust for lighting. Also will show you why there will be artifacts in your lighting like a black void in your indirect. That will usually mean that there are probes in geo and you will need to move the geo or adjust the spacing to get them out of there.

Light Heatmap (How many lights are overlapping, a performance debug mode. The brighter the color from Blue (A0, no local lights, cheap) to Beige (A9, many local lights, very expensive) are how expensive that section of your map is.
Shadow Heatmap (How many shadow are overlapping, a performance debug mode. The brighter the color from Blue (A0, no shadows, cheap) to Beige (A9, many shadows, very expensive) are how expensive that section of your map is.
Notes: For lower specs if shadows go to "4" (Reference Image Overlay Heatmap) you will see flickering in your shadows. Use OBBs to adjust overlap.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://wiki.thescriptersguild.com/forge/lighting/settings-global-lighting/tool-settings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
