Spotlight
 

need a tut on creating a nonmoving spotlight (basically a light, beam and spot on ground lit up) using radient. searching has only gotten me scripts for moving spotlights.

i've also tried creating a light, then a info_null and then hitting control k but i don't know how to create the light 'patch ' on the ground.

You should ask Jv he would know

its was taken from nemesis's site:
I will try to help:

1. In 2D view, right click equipment-searchlightbase

2. "n", enter:
K: targetname V: spotlight
K: #set V: 1
K: #group V: 1

3. 2D view, right click info-splinepaths. this is where the light will search for you. place several in a loop to create the search effect.

4. "n", enter for first splinepath:
K: targetname V: spotpath1_1
K: target V: path1

5. Next spline path:
K: targetname V: path1
K: target V: path2

6. keep doing this until you reach the last splinepath and use "spoypath1_1" for it's target.

7. For the script, place "exec global/spotlight.scr"

8. That should work work; I hope

as for no moving place your search light and put a light on the ground(where is the search light is pointing at), adjust the radius of the light so its fit with your search light

do you want the beam? or do you want the light only?

i tried doing it with the beam from manstein's tuts but that failed. do you know an easier way GR?

i know how to make the light, but not the beam from one surface to the ground.to make a light add this:
[code:937a6]dlight 100 100 100 100[/code:937a6]
it adds light around the object, then numbers are red blue green radius i think, or radius is first.

Make your light then make an info_null and set your radius etc.
Select both and press ctrl+k all done compile and look at your spot light.
The patch will be there dont fret

Tut over cool:

see below

k got the patch on the ground (real dim) but the origin light above isn't there. tried the searchlight-on and that had the model for the searchlight and the beam of light i wanted.........thinking i'd be just as happy with that model as with anything else. could i combine a light, info_null and the searchlight-on model to make the searchlight and lightpatch on the ground ? if so, is there a way to make the patch bigger ?

Check this tut vid out m8. Its for CoD but the basics are the same beer:
