If you use for example the Xanibot3.act it works fine, if you use the proj.act it doesn't work.
That was it, I was using proj.act. Tried it with the xanibot and now it works. Thanks.

FlashLight - lighting for actors

When the spotlight is triggered, it illuminates all pawns and SEPs on the screen, regardless if they fall within it's arc or not.

Also, static meshes don't seem to respond to the spolight at all. I tried all combinations of calc-light, fill color, ambient color, etc... Here, virgil is placed as a static mesh. There is a static light above him because otherwise he'd just be all black.

Keep flashlight from moving

Post by creekmonkey » Wed Oct 24, 2007 7:40 pm

Is there anyway to keep the falshlight from continously moving?

Also I would like to attach it to virgil's head, which when decompiled in Actor Decompiler is listed as bone BIP01 HEAD. But when I try to attach to that bone the light doesnt work.

Resolved the issue of flashlight appearing as if it was always moving or fading in and out by changeing the dspotlight style from 2 to 1.
