Wall mounted light source

Post by Bucnasti »

after seeing the lantern from this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3411&start=30#p34906

I thought it would be great to use as a light source for one of my levels.
lightSource objects can only be placed on the floor, so I had to use two objects, one for the lantern model and one for the lightSource.

Here's my results:

but here's my problem, it only works on the north wall.
If I place the lantern on the west wall the light stays on the north, even if I change the facing of the lightSource

I could just make 4 separate light sources for each direction, but I plan on placing a ton of these things throughout a several of levels, anyone have any idea how to make this work in a simpler way?

I covered this I think in this thread.... viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3430

For the four dragons I have 4 light objects, 1 for each facing and it's no problem putting the right one on each facing dragon.

Good luck with your placements:)

It seems unfortunate if that's the only solution, to make four different custom objects.
