torches flame? Created 19 years ago2004-05-16 16:10:15 UTC by Griffin

ok for my map i would like to have torches be the lighting element but i dont know how to make a flame that gives off light. and ideas?

: what do you mean "gives off light", i cant translate it properly

You have to make a fire sprite on the top of the torch, then put a light entity on the top of the torch. Also if you want sound add some sounds the the torch with the ambient_generic entity.

If you want to see what kind of sprites there are, you will need PakScape and SpriteView. Google them.

Half-Life Model Viewer also works great for exploring those paks.

ok i got the programs now i just need to know how to put a sprite into hammer how do u do that?

tutorial here.

set a fire entity then a light with brightness equal to a fire and add a strobe or flicker, or candle effects

A much more convincing fire:

You might want to throw it in a Dutch-English translator to understand it...
