dynamic light

[the Specialist]

i made a test map so i could test the pulleyconstrain thing with a dynamic light. as you can see on the screens i can't see the rope i made but i does react perfectly on bullets. what the hells wrong???

 

[Quek]

source doesn't support dynamic lighting.

 

[CREMATOR666]

I believe he was asking about the ropes....:hmph:

 

[_Meitsi_]

Add some static light to the map and look if the rope is visible or not

 

[Marfry]

Source DO have dynamic lighning ever played de_prodegy isent those lights dynamic??

 

[_Meitsi_]

Yep source supports it.

I see this is Counter - Strike : Source ... the ropes whont work as in H-L2 so look after a tutorial on how to do it in CSS

 

[the Specialist]

i already checked out a lot of tutorials and i have never been able to make a lamp hang on a rope, a can us ballsocket entitite but thats kicks a lot of options out for dynamic lighting.(sorry for crappy english i hope you understand the last phrase)

 

[Freelancer]

what i know there is just one tut on how to make it in CS Soruce

 

[PvtRyan]

It's currently not possible to attack ropes directly to prop_physics, there's a workaround that is used in de_train and prodigy though. Not exactly sure what that is.

 

[the Specialist]

can you give me a link or something or write it yourself so i can do it right?!

 

[Ravioli]

i made a tutorial on EXAKT what you are doing, but its in swedish, dunno of you will understand it....

For you sorry few who are swedish-impaired, here's a good tutorial (That works) on hl2 world.com;

As you can tell by my post count, I rarely post here. But I just HAD to post after reading "source doesn't support dynamic lighting." That is one of the funniest, and most uninformed statements I've read in days :rolling: . To the person who made that ridiculous statement: dude, Half-Life 1 supported dynamic lighting, LOL.

 

[Dead-Inside]

Holy shit, HL1 supported Dynamic Lighting? I didn't even know that!

Not that it's any useful, it runs your comp into shit, but still!

 

[the Specialist]

in de_train and the prodigy they use bals_sockets i gives an effect that looks like using a pulley constrin but i doesnt. the problem with that is that you need a model with a faked rope on it

Did you see it this time around?

 

[the Specialist]

i already saw it
and by the way it doesn't work . i can try to find a map for cs:s with that in it and i can try to decompile it that may work

 

[Dead-Inside]

Oh but I disagree so badly, it does work.

 

[Freelancer]

Yea it worked for me too.. but i had a similar problem and figured out that it had to do with the parents of some objects / thingys

 

[Nard]

When I first came around the tutorial, it didn't work. Then I cast it aside and downloaded the example map.

There would be a correction to make in the tutorial. It's not clear in the tut if you need to put the lengthconstraint at the move_rope's position or at the keyframe_rope. When I read the tutorial at first, I did it the opposite of what was in the example map. Then I actually made the effort to UNDERSTAND the entities and the trick. Now I can use that trick on my own.

I highly advise everyone to use their brain! :cheese:

 

[Dead-Inside]

Why would you follow a tutorial brainlessly? It's there to teach you, so that you can do other stuff with the knowledge you recieve.

Anyway, I think it's pretty logical when you look at it. It IS clear where to put your lenght constraint if you use your brain.

 

[Nard]

Mmm, yeah seems to work both ways. My mistake.

 

[Quek]

Half-Life 1 supported dynamic lighting, LOL.

yah, Wolfenstein 3D supported it too. yeah... n00b i am

 

[Drewbert]

Well I definately remember moving lights in HL1. Singler player mostly.

your flashlight perhaps..... :thumbs:
