Terrax lighting issue

BANJOPC · 2018-07-19T23:00:12+0900

Firstly, I have posted this is already on Terrax’s thread but I see he’s been inactive for a while. I have a lighter/zippo lighter system in my project which is working almost perfectly with terrax’s lighting plugin. However, the current lighting effect is a 360 radius around the player model from the centre. I would like to change it so the player only has the light in front, effectively making no light behind the player model. I believe this can be done by amending the x and y code of the light on the player but I’m useless with JS. Would any knowledgable coders be able to help with a good understanding of Terrax’s plugin or alternatively, can this be achieved with plugin commands? The help is massively appreciated.

Bump. Could really do some help with this if they are any experienced programmers about?

Could return the favour with any graphical requirements.

Cheers

I believe the flashlight command is what you're looking for, however, it's a little tricky to set it up, as it depends on the standard player light radius.

Maybe use the flashlight command as mentioned above, but use this fix I made for someone else if you don't want the little light orb around the players character :)

Just scroll through that and use the same solution I offered there to get rid of the player light :D

I’ve seen the flashlight command, how do I make the flicker effect on it though? As I I want the character to be using a lighter and it really adds to the horror effect

Thanks for the help guys

I tried making several edits and various other ideas, and I cannot get it change the flashlight effect, so I cannot be much more help on this matter sadly... :/

Hopefully someone else may be able to assist you though :)

Thanks bud. Really struggling, I’ll probably have to hire a programmer for this one
