Candles to fade out? - Lontasm - 11-08-2011
So uh yeah, in the story its a gust that blows thru the hallway, blowing out all the candles and torches, but how do I make the light fade out???
RE: Candles to fade out? - GreyFox - 11-08-2011
SetLightVisible(string& asLightName, bool abVisible);
and then add A Candle Getting Blown out sound.

This should do it.
SetLampLit(string& asName, bool abLit, bool abEffects);
Make sure you time it well so it looks like the wind blows them out.
If you have other lights supporting the lamps but not connected, you can use
FadeLightTo(string& asLightName, float afR, float afG, float afB, float afA, float afRadius, float afTime);
to fade those out. setlamplit false fades the light of the lamp entites in about 0.5f so use that.
edit. I don't really recommend using SetLightVisible because it fades the light out very fast and looks weird.
