Title: Streetlights driving me mad
Post by: General on 02 Jul 2003, 20:36:28

Allright, before you start reminding me of the wonderful "search" function...

Making a mission, want to add a streetlight. Streetlight found under Empty--> Objects. 4 streetlights there.

Used your search function, read up on it, tried it a bit, no result.

Heres what i did:

Set time to 0230, darkest night.
Added streetlight.
In init field: this inflame true.
preview.
Still very very dark night. No shine at all.

Has onyone else had problems with this and possibly found a solution?

I've never had much luck getting the streetlamps added in the editor to work.  If you put this in the init line of the lamp: this switchlamp "on", it tends to crash my system.  You can turn off existing streetlamps in towns easily.

However, there is a small addon which adds four streetlamps.

These look good and actually work.

At least you tried.  Too many people don't.  :)

Try this switchLight "on"... But I warn you... It don't look good.
When I did that with an res streetlight it lit up the entire frikkin map, the smoke from the fires 10km's away behind some hills and forrests turned out white because of that one light :wow: :hmm:... But that was with an res streetlight from one of the editor addons. ::)
