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; 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

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?

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 ?

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.

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

So you got this fixed Sam?

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;

BRIAAAAAAAAAN!
