Does any one know whats wrong? goober   Posted 10th Sep 2006 12:12am L4Y Member Post 3752 / 265 a light isnt a simple object, move the acual light all you like.. the light maps will still stay. Theres no way to switch off a light...

If so i can do it with the Ambient Lights then also use room portals? goober   Posted 10th Sep 2006 4:06am L4Y Member Post 3754 / 265 no, clutter and items are preety much the only thing that will work on keyframes... and events, but moving an event.. well the event is invisable anyway so...

A light changes how the textures will look, So you will need to make two sets of the same textures. One set of the textures will be for lights on, the other set will be for lights off. Next you can make face brushes which will cover the entire room. you could even add shadows too. So if you had a simple room with four walls, floor and ceiling.. You could easily acheive the result with six face brushes which can then be keyframed and become movers. If you wish to get a better idea of what I am talking about, you can view my example map I once created in attempt to further develop Red Faction atmosphere HERE But this kind of brushwork is quite difficult. FuryThor   Posted 10th Sep 2006 6:37pm L4Y Member Post 488 / 831 Yeah I agree with Ninja~ since Volition did not put dynamic lightning entire into game for some reason )they propably ran out of time. Anyway so if you want to create of impression with lights go on and off, you need make that with tricks since there is not an easy way. Project RF SDI My RF Files
