Why does a cloned Orb of Radiance not glow?

... or "How can I make a non-torch light soure?"

Found out the specifics of the Orb problem here.

While where on the topic of torches though, how would I create an empty torch with the burnt out torch graphic?

[Montis]

You would probably have to clone the torch and set the fuel = 0. That might not work perfectly though. It's probably another thing that's kind of hardcoded.

[Neikun]

fuel = 0 works well.

[Emciel]

same reason a cloned uggardian isn't on fire i guess ^_^
hardcoded elements =)

It's listed as a known bug in the 1.2.9 thread.

[Montis]

It wasn't when I opened this thread, since this thread was started even before 1.2.8
