Light Connections (Help Needed!) - 4WalledKid - 10-17-2012

As may know, candles, torches, etc. They don't caste any shadows (or maybe the do and I don't know how to do it. The only way of creating shadows is with a spotlight. I want that when the Player uses a tinderbox on a torch or whatever light source, an inactive spotlight becomes active in order to cast the shadows. Can someone please explain me how to do this? Thanks!

1) Just place the spotlight where you want it and how, then turn its light black. (0, 0, 0, 0)
2) Copy the entity's name
3) Pick the lamp/candle and pick the Entity tab
4) Paste the spotlight's name into "Connected Light"
5) Set the candle unlit.
