Lights that don't go through walls?

[King Tøny]

Is it possible to have these torch lights not be in a circle radius? They keep going through bricks.




Reality.

[gr8dayseth]

don't believe that's possible with the current engine

it certainly would be cool tho

[Kyuande]

It's just the way the engine is, nothing you can really do in Torkscript.

[Planr]

what you're essentially asking for is for dynamic lights to cast shadows on objects, which there is no chance in heck blockland can ever support that

[phflack]

I think he wants directional lights instead of circular ones
that way he can aim it away from the wall

more like dorkscript amirite

Yes, how can we go about doing that?

Directional lights would be awesome.

[phflack]

For some reason I kind of remember there being some kind of directionally light add-on in a pack
Will investigate when I get home

[King Tøny]

I even recall a spot light that actually moved.

[phflack]

yeah, I think it might've been in that pack
it's either that or i'm thinking of the fancy laser emitters

[Pah1023]

As far as I remember any spotlight/flashlight mod just used a raycast to find the point the player was aiming at and created/moved a light object there.
Blockland doesn't have any support for non-radius light.

You can probably do the same with fire.

[phflack]

found the moving spotlights in Light_MiscellaneousLights
pretty sure I remember some kind of cone light, but it might've been using multiple lights to make the effect

[Kyuande]

Yea you really cant make a directional light without more than 1 of them (which isnt recommended)
