Torch as a source of light? - BesTCracK - 02-03-2013

Hello,

I'm just wondering, I have seen today mod Gary's Dark Secrets again on youtube and could it be possible to make that Torch Gary finds a model? I mean the player wouldnt use lantern but that torch and he would use like tinderboxes as fuel? Is it possible?

Thanks for any replies. Smile

Having a torch as a lantern is possible.
Having tinderboxes as a light source is not, unless you make it into "oil" which is the main type of fuel in amnesia.

If you want the torch to be active/inactive when pressing F it will take some serious modelling, before accomplishing it.

So I will have to look for someone who would do the modelling? Cuz I got no clue how to do that Sad

Indeed.
But that's only if you want it to be used like you use the lantern.

I've seen custom stories where the torch is just an item you pick up. It never runs out (Unless it is scripted to).

That's also an option.

Yeah, I thought about that but Im not sure. I'll probably use the default lantern and in some parts the torch as item.
