Xcom Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Connect your light entity to info_notnull. That'll make a spot light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(target_location is used for different purposes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvader28 Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I've used location on a number of occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcom Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Well, don't, from now on. The point is, you can target light at any entity that has origin. target_pos and info_notnull are just placeholders with an origin while target_location has a function. It's meant to determin player's location in the map. Add a lot of them in a small area and it will confuse the engine, not to mention the unnecessary calculation.

King_Jay Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 How do you connect them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Easiest way is to: 1) Press ESCAPE until nothing is selected 2) In the 3D view, shift-click on the first object 3) In the 3D view, shift-click on the second object 4) Press CTRL-K And they are linked. You should see an arrow connecting them in the 3D view. If you want to do it manually, simply add the key "target" to the entity you are targetting from and the key "targetname" to the entity you are targetting to. Then give those keys the same value in both. Example: EntityA targets EntityB EntityA Properties: target group1 EntityB Properties: targetname group1 There ya go.
