Light Question

[Blizard Of Oz]

Sorry, I was unsure of were exactly too put this. It may contain both triggering and modeling, im unsure.

But do you think it is possible to create a custom lighting system?

So if I was carying a flashlight in the game, can the light it shoots out be customized to point in the direction my player is looking (i dont mean a straight line, more of a filled 'V' shape)?

I found this in the Spells section, it fits what you want (fairly) well. I could have sworn I saw a better version of it somewhere, but couldn't find it. If you or someone else could that'd be great.

It might be possible but an awful lot of work if you dont want a circular radius line of sight.

You would need a custom shaped model for a v, and I think a bunch of dummy units with little sight ranges to be rotated constantly with the unit as it moves. Its more than a little bit of trouble.

I have a light model if you want it, it's attached. You'll have to convert it to mdx. It should be self explanatory how to modify it if you open it in a text editor. If it isn't, ask someone who knows about these things.

Sadly however, it is circular and would require something like an invisible box around it to simulate a V. You may also need to contact a modeller for that.

It is alot like what I was talking about, but like you said it's not the best. The 'V' is a wee to big lol.
