Author Topic: Can we have pointed lights?  (Read 1368 times)

I'm asking whether if this is possible or not. I have noticed that almost all of our lights and light addons emit some type of circular light, I don't think I have ever seen straight lighting effects such as a flashlight or effects of a street pole on the ground. Are these things possible to create but just haven't been made yet or they aren't possible? Can we also put lights on vehicles?

There are some light items that does this.

The Brighter Dark has an item like that, ask him about it.

Yes, it's possible.

These would be great for spotlights or something like that, I wish we had them ;_; (a moving one would also be great for lighthouses / search lights)

I've heard people in the past say this is not possible, but idk if anything has changed since Shaders update / new knowledge.

man this would be so cool

lost this when i got a new laptop and didn't backup any add-ons or saved ):

Now somebody make a Cone light appear infront of cars that will light up the way.

its not an actual a "light" according to the engine i think, but it still works

technically you could also just have a constant steam of projectiles that symbolizes "light" that give off light. That way if a guy runs in front of your spot light, the entire light beam isnt still on the wall behind him.

Why does it only allow for stuff like "circular" lights, there isn't a way to code it or something to make tht circule light be more thin like a line or something? It's really weird how only circular lighting is present. (I'm rushing this, sorry for my handicapped grammar)

that looks more like a particle / texture effect but okay works :P

I was dreaming about this.

While the technology itself is easily possible to do and has been done for many upon many of games, it's not possible for us, the community, to do it for Blockland. It has to be done engine sided.

Glowy textures and particles (I'm looking at you, night vision goggles) are NOT adequate sources of lighting.

The best we can get is something that can constantly spew projectiles that have a big and bright explosion light, but that can be seen as spammy and just bad looking
