11 June 2004 03:14 (UK time) How about some rooms could have light switches so that inside, so that it makes it bright or makes the light in the room the same as it was during day time? Mainly for night missions, where in M1, it was dark in the room and outside. Also, how about making a "room cover" option where it makes it so that some rooms would be shrouded on the inside untill you entered the room/building. This could also be a great trigger: like if you had to turn on security cameras in a building, you would press the button and the sroud in a building would be uncovered. Thanks!

What about spotlights, light posts, headlights on vehicles, flashlight equiped troopers and muzzle flashes that make a large area light up (different weapons make different flashes. Silenced weps don't do any light at all). You need to login to create posts in this thread.

More dynamic lighting (like headlights) could be more tricky, I need to look into this at code level. As for spotlight triggers, nice idea but triggers have static locations, dunno is the answer. A spotlight can be a "unit" with a single corona sprite bound to a track in a loop. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

21 July 2004 03:46 (UK time) Yah im going to like the sector lighting, that way if you designed a telephone pole using a few sectors, you can make the shadow like a little north of it so you could easily tell what it was. without a shadow no one knows what the heck it would be. *Papercut Pro-Murder.

03 September 2004 04:37 (UK time) Will it be possible to make the lights make darkness brighter, rather than a "White Light" effect, the headlights don't seem to make a real use, just fun to look at. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. You need to login to create posts in this thread.
