Mount fxLight on a node of player object

by Kevin · in Technical Issues · 07/16/2004 (6:49 pm) · 4 replies

Hi, I am trying to mount fxLight on a player object and I'm having a problem.

I have the fxLightDB class embedded in the player class and update the transform of the light according to a node.

what happens is that the tranform/position of the fxLight gets updated but the engine doesn't render the light in the new position.

Is there a function I call use to redraw the fxLight in the new Position? or is there something else I could do? Please help.

thank,

Kevin

I am wondering. You trying to just use an omni type light, or trying to use a spotlight for a substitute as a flashlight here?

It is the fxlight resource by Melv May

Instead of sub classing the fxLight into the player why dont you just modify the fxLight to accept mountPoints. I've done this but the problem I have is the interpolation of the light to the player | vehicle. If you would like to check it out you can grab it here
