Quick spotlight question

[<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]]

I want to make a spotlight but it doesn't work like it should. I'm prbably missing something (definately ).

The way I try and make one is like this;

- make a light
- make an info_null
- select light and info_null then press w
- select light and give it the following values;

Code: Select all

classname = light
intensity = 1
Radius = 50
fov_outer = 45
fov_inner = 10
exponent = 1
color = well...uhm...red (don't know the exact rgb value)

What am I doing wrong here ?

(p.s. I also tried selecting both and enter the values but that also doesn't seem to work)

Thx in advance

Code: Select all

key: def
value: light_point_linear

Add these to your light and see if it works.

Ok, thx I'll try it when I get home.

Firstly:

_color not color

(colour is worked out using a simple bit of maths...)
Go to paint/photoshop and get the colour you want.
Get the RedGreenBlue value, Red would be [255 0 0]
Divide each number by 255 to get your "_color" value.
Red being [1 0 0]

Secondly:
When linking the info_null, make sure you select the light FIRST (this makes the light target the info, not the otherway round).

I also found and followed that link drof, but to no avail. Ok here some screens from what I filled out ;

You said it doesn't work like it should. How DOES it work/does it work at all?

[<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]]

It looks like the fov_outer, fov_inner and the exponent don't do anything.
In radient it still looks like a normal light (round sphere). You should see the spotlight in radient ...right ? Just like the screenshots in the link drofder posted.

I would suggest a compile check, just in case.

When you select the light in radiant you should see the spotlightbeam instead of a normal roundlight ....right ?
If that is the case the compiler has nothing to do with it ?

[Drofder2004]

Its been many years... I don't even think I used the radiant light thingy, always prefered to compile.

Not true, that works only in CoD4 and later because of a new lighting system in Radiant. You have to compile to see your spotlight in CoD2Radiant.

As Drofder said, compile to check.

[<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]]

Aha .. thx.
I'll check when I get home.

[Rezil]

So you got this fixed Sam?

[<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]]

Nope, It didn't work m8.
I put in the values like I posted and compiled but I don't get any light now ?
This is how it looks in radient;
