Spotlight color, could it be changed? Created 7 years ago2017-04-09 15:55:55 UTC by abbadon

Hi. I am using some spotlights to complete some flame effects, but Its colour is always white. Is there a way to change this.

if goldsource, then it's the same as any regular point light.

I thought that first, but it looks that there must be another way... I select the color and it appears in properties of the entity, but once compiled the map the light projected over the brush is still white; it is not that it looks bad, but I wanted it to have the colour I defined.

Doesn't seem to be working properly.... Then. Screenshots?

I expect either your FGD is broken, your mod is broken or you're not actually updating your BSP.

Colour is changed under the 'Brightness' keyvalue of all light entities.Correct FGD:

@PointClass iconsprite("sprites/lightbulb.spr") color(255 255 128) base(Target, Light, ZhltLights) = light_spot : "Spotlight"
[
	firetarget(string) : "Target to trigger"
	_cone(integer) : "Inner (bright) angle" : 30
	_cone2(integer) : "Outer (fading) angle" : 45
	pitch(integer) : "Pitch" : -90
//	_light(color255) : "Brightness" : "255 255 128 200"
	_sky(choices) : "Is Sky" : 0 =
	[
		0 : "No"
		1 : "Yes"
	]
	spawnflags(Flags) =
	[
		1 : "Initially dark" : 0
	]
]

I will check it as soon as the netbook on which I am now compiling the map will finish, you Know, two or more hours Btw: I am using VHLT and Quark to compile/make the map.

another thing I noticed is that the generic monster entity is always posed , when ingame, several units above the place I set on the map editor, it is a pain in the ass because I have had to re order those entities, overall because when the scripted sequences start, they suddenly "fall" some units below its actual location. it looks a bit weird but because those scripted sequences happen at the end of the round I hope they does not look excessively weird... any ideas of what is causing this? :

Oh, and the mod is running under Xash3D engine, I don't know if it will be the cause of this extrange behaviour...

Well, I must wait until I can test the map on my true PC, this little pup cannot throw more than 3 fps!, it could take me ages to arrive to the moment when the effects happen. I will wait and then post a video next friday, sorry for the delay!!
