Light Beams Help Anyone ????

Post by Matt1024 »

Hello

I would like to know how to make the beams of light i see coming from lights on most maps....its quite hard for me to explain and i cant find a pic....

Basically whenever i see a lampost ingame there is always a sort of cone shaped beam of light coming from the bulb.....if anyone knows how to do this i would be very gratefull......

Create a light and click on it to highlight. Then press key N to bring up the enitiy properties window. Read everything in the gray box to find the options you can set for the light. I think what you want is LINEAR or spot light.

I also had problems with these spotlights:

Making a spotlight out of a normal light wasn't the problem, the radius is (for me) a thing of trial and error, but I don't know how to do the visible beam from the light source to the ground, where the info_null lies around...
