model lighting problem.

[dennis]

Hello all,

I written a small LUA script. but it isn't working yet.

can someone tell me whats wrong?

 

 

require("scripts/class")
require("scripts/constants/collision_const")
local class=CreateClass(...)

function class:CreateObject(model)
	local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)
	object.model:SetKey("collisiontype", COLLISION_SCENE)
end

light1 = CreatePointLight(10)
light1:SetColor(Vec4(255, 233, 172, 255))
light1:SetShadowmapSize(512)
EntityColor(light1, Vec4(0.56))
light1:SetPosition(Vec3(-0.72,10.05,26.95))

 

I was thinking, to make it a function so I could load all it's parameters inside the game when loading the scene like:

 

 

function modellighting()
light1 = CreatePointLight(10)
light1:SetColor(Vec4(255, 233, 172, 255))
light1:SetShadowmapSize(512)
EntityColor(light1, Vec4(0.56))
light1:SetPosition(Vec3(-0.72,10.05,26.95))
end

any other possibility's ?

Like to hear them, the reason I chose to let the model creates light itself. is because it will costs less time to generate all physics but just only loading the model.

 

cheers

look at the inherent 'fixture_cagelight' object script... its doing exactly what you are attempting...

Thanks mack.

very great help, but still not working

now I used::

 

 

require("scripts/class")
require("scripts/constants/collision_const")
local class=CreateClass(...)

function class:CreateObject(model)
       local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)
       object.model:SetKey("collisiontype", COLLISION_SCENE)

function object:Init()
self.light1=CreatePointLight(10)
self.light1:SetColor(Vec4(255, 233, 172, 255))
self.light1:SetPosition(Vec3(-0.72,10.05,26.95))
self.light1:SetShadowOffset(0,0.93,0)
self.light1:SetShadowmapSize(512)
self.light1:EntityColor(light1, Vec4(0.56))
self.model:SetShadowMode(0,1)
self.light1:SetShadowMode(7)
end
end

why not just copy over the entire script and save it for your model's script... then use the properties dialog to pick your settings... thats what its there for... but in any case, your script above isnt working because you are not calling the object:Init() function... add it after that function just like in the fixture_cagelight script...

[dennis]

the reason because I won't copy over the whole script is just because there are more than one light. and in the cagelight script there's just place for a single light. I want to make a more hybrid script for my own, just for practicing

 

it worked but the effect is not really wanted. the light is just like a supernova. really powerful.
