For some reasons the model shifted forward and it wasn't in the middle of a square anymore.
I should try that again...

Ignore the previous wall lantern solution as it doesn't work outside the editor. The lanterns you light don't survive save games because they were created via FX when I should have used objects instead. So, here is the revised fully functioning and simpler solution:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
       name = "wall_lantern_fx_3",
	    class = "LightSource",
	    lightPosition = vec(-1.18, 1.85, 0),
	    lightRange = 12,
	    lightColor = vec(0.7, 0.5, 0.5),
	    brightness = 10,
	    castShadow = true,
	    particleSystem = "torch",
	    placement = "floor",
	    editorIcon = 88,
}

defineObject{
	    name = "wall_lantern_fx_2",
	    class = "LightSource",
	    lightPosition = vec(0, 1.85, -1.18),
	    lightRange = 12,
	    lightColor = vec(0.7, 0.5, 0.5),
	    brightness = 10,
	    castShadow = true,
	    particleSystem = "torch",
	    placement = "floor",
	    editorIcon = 88,
}

defineObject{
	    name = "wall_lantern_fx_1",
	    class = "LightSource",
	    lightPosition = vec(1.18, 1.85, 0),
	    lightRange = 12,
	    lightColor = vec(0.7, 0.5, 0.5),
	    brightness = 10,
	    castShadow = true,
	    particleSystem = "torch",
	    placement = "floor",
	    editorIcon = 88,
}

defineObject{
	    name = "wall_lantern_fx_0",
	    class = "LightSource",
	    lightPosition = vec(0, 1.85, 1.18),
	    lightRange = 12,
	    lightColor = vec(0.7, 0.5, 0.5),
	    brightness = 10,
	    castShadow = true,
	    particleSystem = "torch",
	    placement = "floor",
	    editorIcon = 88,
}

Define 4 LightSource objects - one for each facing position. The only difference between the four is the name and lightPosition. This has to be done because the convenient FX translate() function doesn't work with LightSource objects. They can't be moved. You also need to define a sound object:

Code: Select all

defineSound{
       name = "wall_lantern_crackling",
	    filename = "assets/samples/env/torch_burning_01.wav",
	    loop = true,
	    volume = 0.5,
	    minDistance = 2,
       maxDistance = 6,
}	

Lastly, replace the logical lantern script. It's simpler now.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
   	name = "wall_lantern_logical",
   	class = "Alcove",
   	anchorPos = vec(0, 1.65, 0),
   	targetPos = vec(0, 1.65, 0),
   	targetSize = vec(0.2, 0.2, 0.2),
	   onInsertItem = function(self, item)		
		   if item.name == "torch" or "everlasting_torch" then
			   spawn("wall_lantern_fx_"..self.facing, self.level, self.x, self.y, 0)
			   playSoundAt("wall_lantern_crackling", self.level, self.x, self.y)
			   self:destroy()
		   end
	   end,
   	placement = "wall",
   	replacesWall = false,
   	editorIcon = 84,
}

Don't forget the visual lantern script from my previous post.

Yes, please! I want to use that exact effect and am not sure how to set it up

"Challenge accepted" anyone - I even got a obj file for you

Edit: we could go further: if you put down the fire alcove spawns with something behind the fire
