yes thats basiaclly what i am talking about. no i didnt update the code.. just change the shader to:

Code:

---

	pass p0
			{
				
				//load matrices
				VertexShaderConstant[0] = <matWorld>; 	//World Matrix
				VertexShaderConstant[8] = <matWorldViewProj>;	//World*View*Proj Matrix
			 	VertexShaderConstant[95] = <matWorldView>;	//World*View Matrix
				//light vector
				VertexShaderConstant[12]  = <vecSkill17>; 
					
				//range constant
			//	VertexShaderConstant[33] = (0.0052f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
			
				VertexShaderConstant[33] = (0.01f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
	
				Texture[0]  = <mtlSkin3>; //pointlight attenuation
		  		Texture[1]  = <mtlSkin3>;	//pointlight alpha

         	AddressU[0] = clamp;  // don't wrap around edges
            AddressV[0] = Clamp;
            AddressU[1] = Clamp;  // don't wrap around edges
            AddressV[1] = Clamp;
				
				zWriteEnable=true; // enables writing to the z-buffer
				AlphaBlendEnable=false; // disables alpha blending 

				VertexShader=
				decl
				{
					stream 0;
					float v0[3]; //position		
					float v3[3]; //normal
					float v7[3]; //uv
					float v8[3]; //tangent
				}
				asm
				{
					vs.1.1
					
					; position in clip space
					m4x4 oPos, v0, c8
				
					; position in world space
					m4x4 r2, v0, c95
					
						
				
					; get light vector
				//	add r10, r2, -c12
					
					; Divide each component by the range value
				//	mul r10, r10, c33.x
					mul r10,r2,c33.x
					; multiply with 0.5 and add 0.5
					mad r10, r10, c33.yyyy, c33.yyyy
					mov oT0.xy,r10.xy
					
					; map the x and y components into the first texture
			//		mov oT0.xyz, r10.xyz
					
					; z-component v0
					mov oT1.x, r10.z
					
				
				};
			
				PixelShader= 
				asm
				{
					
					ps.1.1
					tex t0 
					tex t1
					
					add r0, 1-t0, -t1.a	
		

				};
			}

now this as i said will only work using the camera as the "projector".. i still dont know the matrix math the get it work for a point light
