hi~again. i wanna do a splinter cell-like light bar.but i don't know how to get the level of light at a postion. i've already looked into the aum 32.but i don't know how to do this in a8?
thanks in advance.

Hi

I do something like that in my game. The code is integrated in the movement routine where it traces for the ground. The "c_trace" is done with "SCAN_TEXTURE" set. The varibale "tex_light" afterwarts contains brightness below player entity.

yep i've tried this. but seem the var is not correct. when the hero is at a very dark place.the var's value still very high. and the hero stand below a hi-res light ,the var's value even slower than in the dark one......
i'm confused

Explain what you are trying to do. You can use hit.blue to with TRACE under player's feet (with SCAN_TEXTURE), but that works only with static ones.
For dynamic lights use "ent_nextlight", but I have no idea how to combine results from them...

yes !!!
use ent_nextlight and a for loop combine hit.blue can get result...
thx.

or a simple way, just check the cloest light'value
