Andr3wHur5t Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Hi, I am using LE3 with c++. I programmatically made a spotlight which I want it to appear on all surfaces but it only appears to show on non-lightmapped surfaces. I’ve messed with the material settings of the lightmapped surfaces, and the light itself but that didn’t seem to help. Can someone help me out???

Rick Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I'm not sure if there is a way to calculate lighting on lightmapped surfaces from code but that sounds like what you'd need in your situation. Of course that would only work with a static light. If your spotlight moves I don't think there is anything you can do to have it move real-time and show correctly on a lightmapped shader surface.

Josh Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 There is an undocumented Surface::Extract() command. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
xtreampb Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 yay more undocumented API commands... Quote bool Life() { while(death=false) { if(death==true) return death; } } I have found the secret to infinite life Did I help you out? Like my post!
Josh Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 They're considered "extra". The simple answer is this is presently unsupported. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
YouGroove Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 yep a texture projection , no need to calculated anything, that's way lot of games do for flashLight. Quote Stop toying and make games
Josh Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I did these in Blitz3D even though they weren't an official feature. It's definitely possible with the Surface commands. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
