[SOLVED] Creating basic lights in the editor

[CAS_Daniel]

Unless theres an object I missed in the 6th sense pack, i'm guessing this will involve some particle effects, which is something I havn't ventured into.
I've made a mission in Corazol at night without NVs, so I need some basic lighting for the darker areas with no island lights nearby. And I don't want to have to use a burnt out pickup with a campfire underneath on every corner.  A simple white light that illuminates a few feet around it that I can say place at a certain height on a game logic would be perfect.

Cheers, Dan

Try this in the init line of a gamelogic

Code: [Select]

light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal position this;  light setLightBrightness 0.14;  light setLightAmbient[0.0, 0.0, 0.0];  light setLightColor[1.0, 1.0, 1.0];  light lightAttachObject [this, [2,1,2]]If I remember rightly that's pretty low level lighting.
Easy enough to edit to get the settings you want.

That's perfect mate, much appreciated! 
Should cut down the number of toasted hiluxes immensely.
