Defining new lights?

[gambit37]

Does anyone know the object definition for creating new lights? I tried a few different things based on the Scripting Reference but it all crashes the editor when I try to place one. Thanks.

Here is a light that I have gotten to work. Perhaps you can use it for reference:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
   name = "cave_light",
   baseObject = "mine_ceiling_pit_light",
   components = {
      {
         class = "Light",
         enabled = true,
         range = 1500,
         color = vec(0.01, 0.01, 0.01),
         brightness = 7,
         castShadow = false,
      },
   },
}

If your light definition looks similar to this, but has a different baseObject, then it might be that your definition is missing some things the game needs that are otherwise defined in the baseObject of "mine_ceiling_pit_light" such as a model.

Perfect, thankyou I had a similar definition, but had used dummy_light as my baseobject and had an extra unnecessary class = "LightSource" in there.
