nighttime lighting...

by Travis Vroman · in Torque Game Engine · 07/10/2002 (8:50 am) · 6 replies

ok... I adjusted the sun settings and replaced the sky textures so that I could have a nighttime stage. My question now is... how can I place static lights around the stage?

    Good Question.

    I'm sure i have never come across a light object, except the sun.

    I'm sure there's a resource somewhere that provides lights that you can add using the editor. Maybe search on "fx"?

    are you talking about "map" lights (omni, spotlight, whatever ... then you should check Desmond Fletchers website out), like lights added in Worlcraft/Quark or are you talking about adding "only" lights to the mission in the TQ editor (then you could use Melv's fxLight, yeah!) ... ?

    If you want terrain lighting go to Melv May's fxLight resource:

    Thanks guys... also, does anyone know how I can get them to shut off when shot?

    Maybe define a trigger around the light that switches off the light when it detects a bullet hitting it?

    I don't think Torque supports dynamic lighting on terrains though; only inside interiors made in Warcraft. I could be wrong though.
