[CS:GO][/ANY] Colored Flashlight

Hi :D
i want show you simple code to create a flashlight

Code:

float playerPos[3];

        float playerAng[3];

        GetEntPropVector(client, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", playerPos);

        GetEntPropVector(client, Prop_Send, "m_angRotation", playerAng);

        

         int entlight =  CreateEntityByName("light_dynamic");  



        if (entlight != -1)    

    {     

                DispatchKeyValue(entlight, "_light", "0 132 255");  

        DispatchKeyValue(entlight, "brightness", "5");  

 

        DispatchKeyValueFloat(entlight, "distance", 2400.0);  

                DispatchKeyValueFloat(entlight, "spotlight_radius", 200.0);  



                DispatchKeyValueFloat(entlight, "_inner_cone", 0.0);  

                DispatchKeyValueFloat(entlight, "_cone", 360.0);  

 

        DispatchSpawn(entlight);

                TeleportEntity(entlight , playerPos, playerAng,NULL_VECTOR);

        

                SetVariantString("!activator");

                AcceptEntityInput(entlight, "SetParent", GetEntPropEnt(client,Prop_Send,"m_hViewModel"), entlight, 0);

        }

INPUTS:

Toggle the light on/off:

Code:

AcceptEntityInput(entlight, "Toggle");

Limit:

Nice.
But is this true ?

Re: [CS:GO][/ANY] Colored Flashlight

You also get lighting errors when two dynamic lights cross eachother.

Re: [CS:GO][/ANY] Colored Flashlight

Source engine does not do lighting smart at all.

Re: [CS:GO][/ANY] Colored Flashlight

Proper dynamic lighting in BSP requires additional lightmap data to be "baked" into the BSP which explodes filesizes. Then realtime ray tracing activates the lightmap shadow scaling which results in a shadow.

CSGO uses one dynamic light for the environment light source and allows a second light to be cast. When a third is added the lightmaps flicker around.

Edit:

I figure as the dynamic lighting from this plugin isnt compiled into the maps lightmap data it probably doesnt wig out, while they probably dont generate a shadow.
