Light physics is wierd? - Peanuckle - 09-10-2010
I dunno if this is a bug or just an oversight, but when I tried putting a bucket over a candle to douse the light, nothing happened. The candle itself was covered, but the flame didn't die out and light still projected from the area.
I take it that the light is an "ambient effect" rather than a function of the candle itself. Was it ever intended to be able to douse light sources? Creating hiding spots could be just as useful as creating visible zones.
