Mounting Lights

by Fucifer · in Torque Game Engine · 04/10/2007 (10:09 am) · 6 replies

How do I get the same light to mount to different location on on dts? The dts has mount 3 and 4. In the datablock for the light no matter how I code it, it always mount to last mount point in the datablock. I can get the light to mount to either one of the mount point but not both at same time.

Are you mounting two seperate lights? I dont think you can mount one object in two places at the same time, unless I'm missing something. Make another instance of the light and mount that.

The mount point is on the same object. I have two mount point, mount 3 and mount 4. In the datablock it read MountPoint = "3";. I am wonder is there a way I can have two mountpoint in one datablock.

Take out the MountPoint = "3"; That specifies that it will only mount to mountPoint3. Create another light using that same datablock and mount the 2nd light to mountPoint4.

Thanks for the help. I have it like that now I was wondering if there was another way of doing. I try to keep the datablock down to minium. Thanks.
