light questions

[neillomax]

Is there some way of getting the spot angle right. Sometimes i can't figure out how to make it go where I want. Also, i assume the radius ( 90 or 45 ) means the angle at which the light will flow ?


Is this something I should be doing the same way I make ladders....... north, east, south, and west....north being 0, east being 90 etc.

I don't remember, but you should make a simple test map and try different numbers. "angles" is for the direction it points and is a three part number--x y z.

Key: angles
Value: 72 -30 45

I think you can also make a script origin (with a targetname) and just tell it to point at it. But, I don't remember how--maybe "target".

You can make your light target an info_null to set the angles .

scorpio's description of an info_null :

Used as a positional target for spotlights, etc.

I figured id post this question in here becuase its basically the same thing.


Could i have a static model of the lighted spotlight with a target name of Spotlight and in the script just have it say


local.player = parm.other
$Spotlight aimAt local.player

Or maybe have a script model with the model set to that spotlight model but with the same targetname and scripting?

What kind of spotlight are you doing ? If it is a moveable one without ai I wrote a script that uses a menu that lets you design one and writes the script for you to qconsole log .
