Need some help with FxLight

I want to make the area under the lantern have alot less light. I.E, i'd like the light to be a ring instead of a full flat circle, since the latern wouldn't light the area under itself.

I'm using the FlameLight data in fxlights.cs. The only thing i've managed is to decrease the size of the light, trial and error on the other settings have failed to create the effect I want.

Anyone know which settings I need to mess with to create a ring effect?

Thanks

Lars

Hello,

The bottom of the lamp has to cast a shadow. I would guess that you may be better off checking out the discussions regarding dynamic shadows.
