As I said, it wasn't tested. I based it on a script I made for fading far entities out, and that worked perfectly.

Thanks for posting, you are obviously the onlyh person who actually tried it. Since you are interested I will go back and debug this for you. I can see a couple of problems just looking at it again now. I'm flat out at work, so I might be a few days.

Until then, you can try this. Did I get it right this time?

Code:

---

		temp_distance = vec_dist (my.x, player.x); 
                fade_factor = (temp_distance - fade_start) / (fade_end * (1 - fade_start / fade_end);
		r = fade_factor * my.skill2;
		g = fade_factor * my.skill3;
		b = fade_factor * my.skill4;

                //I forgot to actually set it!
                vec_set(my.red, vector(r,g,b));

                //Turn off when no more light 
                //The previous method would have turned the light off when there was no more red only            
                var temp[3];  //declare this up near the top with the other variables
                vec_diff(temp, my.skill2, vector(2,2,2)); //Try 1,1,1; but GS might be inaccurate
                 
		if(vec_length(temp) < 2) //Try 1, but GS might be inaccurate
		{
		   my.lightrange = 0;
		}else
		{
		my.lightrange = my.skill1;
		}

This is off the top of my head, but I feel quite confident about it.
