sharing shade-c EVO flashlight - 05/02/18 20:05

I have been playing around with this for a while and finally figured out how to make an functioning flashlight with shade-c EVO





Behold:

Code:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
SOUND* click = "click.wav";
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// Flashlight
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
var flashlighton = 0;
function attach_light(ENTITY* flashlight)
{
	if(flashlight)
	{
		if(flashlighton == 1)
		{
			vec_set(flashlight.x, camera.x);
			flashlight.z = camera.z;
			flashlight.pan = camera.pan;
			flashlight.tilt = camera.tilt;
			sc_light_update(flashlight);
		}
	}
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
action hero_flashlight()
{
	var lightcreated = 0;
	wait(-1);
	set(my,INVISIBLE|PASSABLE);
	wait(1);
	ENTITY* flashlight = NULL;
	while(heroEnt.health>0)
	{
		if(key_f)
		{
			if(flashlighton == 0){flashlighton = 1;}
			else{flashlighton = 0;}
			while(key_f)
			{
				if(flashlight){attach_light(flashlight);}
				wait(1);
			}
		}
		//////////
		if(flashlighton == 1 && lightcreated == 0)
		{
			snd_play(click,100,0);
			lightcreated = 1;
			wait(3);
			flashlight = sc_light_create(vector(camera.x, camera.y, camera.z), 1000, vector(50,25,0), SC_LIGHT_SPOT | SC_LIGHT_SPECULAR | SC_LIGHT_SHADOW , vector(0, -25, 0), 45);
			wait(1);
		}
		if(flashlighton == 0)
		{
			if(lightcreated == 1)
			{lightcreated = 0;/*snd_play(click,100,0);*/}
			sc_light_remove(flashlight);
			flashlight = NULL;
		}
		if(flashlight){attach_light(flashlight);}
		wait(1);
	}
	wait(1);
	lightcreated = 0;
	flashlighton = 0;
	sc_light_remove(flashlight);
	flashlight = NULL;
}



To use, after setting up shade-c EVO (which I presume you did, otherwise you wouldn't be interested in having a flashlight using shade-c EVO), simply create an empty entity in your Player action/function:
Code:
ent_create(NULL, camera.x, hero_flashlight);



Or simply place "hero_flashlight()" in wed somewhere.


With F you can switch the flashlight on and off, with a nice "click" sound if you want to.
