Light a lamp

I am going to teach you how to make a pointlight go active when you light a lamp/candle entity.

This is my first tutorial so I would like you to leave feedback if you have time. Thanks! Smile

First:

Create a lamp (or whatever you want to call it.)

You can find all lamp entites under: entites>lamp


Name the lamp whatever you want.




Second:


Go to the "Entity Settings".

Make sure you uncheck the "Lit" box. (You don't need to, but if you want the player to light the lamp, do so.)

Create a pointlight.


Name it whatever you want. Make sure you resize the light. By default the size is 1.
I resized mine to 3.5.



Write the name of your pointlight in the "Connected Light" in the lamp entity you placed earlier. In this case, it is called "PointLight_1".


Third:


Change the color of your light to:

R: 0
G: 0
B: 0
A: 0

This means that the light won't have any color and will be invisible until you light the lamp.



Hope this helped someone Smile

As I said, leave feedback!

RE: Light a lamp

I do not know, I will try it out now Smile

Yes, it does work with spotlights, however, you cannot use it with multiple lights Smile

RE: Light a lamp

Thanks for the information. I never understood how those worked.

As of September 2nd, 2014, I've left the Frictional forums. Check my profile for more details.
