RE: Lantern power change

Now that I think about it, you must be able to do things like that, or script functions like BreakJoint wouldn't work.

RE: Lantern power change

Hmm... Can't you change the light radius from the game.cfg in the "config" folder ?? I found this in there : <Player_Lantern

Color="0.88 0.82 0.40 0.8"
Radius = "0.0001"
Gobo = ""
LocalOffset = "0.3 -0.3 -0.1"
TurnOnSound = "ui_lantern_on"
TurnOffSound = "ui_lantern_off"
OutOfOilSound = "ui_lantern_off"
DisabledSound = ""
CastShadows = "false"
LowerOilSpeed = "0.23"
FadeLightOilAmount = "10"

So basicly, I would be able to script so that when I pick up the lantern, I remove the old one (so there won't be 2 in the inventory) and then just increase the "light power" on the lantern? :o


And sorry bout this lil nooby question, but how do I remove the message from a door when I've used the key on it? >.<

Well, it would work if you can access the lantern in that way - i tested it a little and couldn't get it to work but you might have better luck.
Removing the message can be done simply by running an if-statement check to see if the door is locked before showing the message? You may or may not need to add a variable to track the state of the door depending on your situation.

RE: Lantern power change

Oh, aw alright :o Nah, no chance, I'm just a beginner scripter lols Smile

Not very familiar with the "if", I know that it makes like, if the door state is 0 as locked, when you use a key on it it gets 1 when unlocked, but I'm not sure how to fit it in the script, nor how the function works :o Is thre a tutorial for this somewhere?
