mapping help -.-

[ceriux]

ok guys yea, i know the forums are not for mapping help . but ya know iv gotten more help here for mapping rather than anywhere else -.-... so i was wondering why are only 2 of my light_spot entities working?! its kinda pissin me off... matter of fact iv got 2 that are set up exactly the same and only 1 of those work.... so i dont get whats wrong... and theres no leaks in my map...

Well.. i've never used one b4, but the way i understand it, they have a target to point at, so all i can suggest is to check and make sure they dont have the same target. though im not even sure that would cause your problem.

 

[ceriux]

ill try, cause i didnt even give them targets to point at . but then again why would only 2 of them work if theres no targets theyre pointing at ne ways? lol only way to see is to try.


THNX CROW!!!

They don't actually *require* a target, but aiming them manually with pitch can be a bitch... There's also he various flags involved, make sure the right ones are checked. Best solution for oddities such as these, is usually delete the one that doesn't work, and make a copy of one of those that does, putting the copy in the broken buggers place.

...and plenty of people ask for mapping help on the forums... Granted, more oft in the Custom Content section... But I 'spose we aren't flooded with the 500 supports posts per/day we were when I bitched about catagories.

Make it a sprite, set it to additive and between 150 - 200.

Make sure it's rendermode is 'additive' (5), with a renderamt of '255'... And if you give it a targetname, make sure 'starts on' flag is checked.

 

[Gaz]

150 - 200 renderamount is better for flames, as it makes them more see through
