Add lights to my static object

[112th_Rossi]

Hi.

 

I've created a very simple model and I can get it to appear in game. However i am confused as to how lights work. I have created an Empty object and parented it to the armature. I then set it to Light in EDM property and set values. It renders find in ModelViewer but does not appear in game?

 

I have also looked at Connectors but I don't know how to define my light in my lua file.

 

It looks like this

 

mount_vfs_model_path    (current_mod_path.."/Shapes")
mount_vfs_texture_path  (current_mod_path.."/Textures")
-- CWAY - Fudges Cone Barricade X3
    CWAY = {};
    set_recursive_metatable(CWAY, GT_t.generic_stationary)
    set_recursive_metatable(CWAY.chassis, GT_t.CH_t.STATIC);
    CWAY.chassis.life = 10

    CWAY.visual.shape = "TestModel"

    --Burning after hit
    CWAY.visual.fire_size = 0 --relative burning size
    CWAY.visual.fire_pos = {0,0,0};
    CWAY.visual.fire_time = 0 --burning time (seconds)
    CWAY.time_agony = 180;
        CWAY.Name = "TestModel"
    CWAY.DisplayName = _("Test Model")
    CWAY.Rate = 1

    CWAY.DetectionRange  = 0;
    CWAY.ThreatRange = 0;
    CWAY.mapclasskey = "P0091000076";
    CWAY.attribute = {wsType_Ground,wsType_Tank,wsType_NoWeapon,wsTypeVAZ,
                    "Fortifications",
                    };
    CWAY.category = "Fortification";
    
    add_surface_unit(CWAY)

 

Is there a complete list of properties for objects?

After some research it appears that Light (EDM property) does not work in game, even though it works in the model viewer.

 

If you set an Empty to Light via EDM Object properties and export, it will not work.

I've been using lights (both omni and spotlights) without issues.

To which arg is it tied to?

If you want you can send me your .blend files (or .fbx if you're using max) so I can have a look.

Anyone who have any idea why this can occur? Im having the same problem with spotlights now in 2024
