DLight?

[dosap]

Hey, i am woundering how did the coders of ESF made some attacks light up the area around it....

i checked in the DMC code, for quad damage or whatever to check how did it light up the area and i asked some people
they said they believe the rocket RPG and the DMC Quad damage thing used Dlights....

do you guys use it, and how would i use it my self...
like where in the SDK do they show you how did they use Dlight or whatever to light up the area....

i already checked in the CRPGRocket members and some stuff in the DMC client code( i found this gEngfuncs.pEfxAPI->CL_AllocDlight) .......

thanks

pev->effects |= EF_BRIGHTLIGHT;

there are some more fx for this, just search the code :)

harSen, have you ever played DMC?

harSen do you know when you pick up a rune you light up the area around you with a nice aura, not the shell around the player but the light and it can have colours, do you have a clue how is this done?

Well, no, i never played DMC. If you want to make a dlight use the DLIGHT temp entity serverside, or as you said, the gEngfuncs.pEfxAPI->CL_AllocDlight() clientside. Just check the code, i'm sure there is an example about how to use them.

Super thanks......



dlight_t *dl = gEngfuncs.pEfxAPI->CL_AllocDlight ( 0 );

cl_entity_t *player = gEngfuncs.GetEntityByIndex( ent->clientIndex );

if ( !player )
return;

VectorCopy ( player->origin, dl->origin ); // this here does some magic stuff by copying the origin of the player and make the dlight to be that origin

dl->radius = 250; // the dmc glow stuff... this here makes the player light up
dl->dark = true;
dl->die = gEngfuncs.GetClientTime() + 0.001; //Kill it right away

if ( ent->entity.baseline.iuser2 == 1 ) // check if you are in a team
{
if ( ent->entity.baseline.iuser1 == 1 ) // power up type

dl->color.r = 255;
