flickering lights

[IllegalEnzyme]

hi, i have a room in which there are several flaming torches made using the particle system, i was wondering if there is a way to light the room from these torches and have the light flicker etc.

Thanx

you'll need to set your level's EMF_LIGHTING flag to true and add some dynamic colored lights for that. 2 probleems cross my mind:

1. dunno if they han be flickering animated (to resemble torches)
2. I read somewhere there's a count limint for them (maximum 6 or 8 )

finally, it will demmand a lot of hradwaree to run

i've added the lights and setup the model to use lighting i was just asking if i could make them flicker, i wondered about placing the light insde the particle field, and then setting the particles to cast shadows, the constantly moving particles should create the effect i'm after but i'm not sure how to do it or if its even possible.

you definately dont want to do it that way. what you want is stencil shadows and a bunch of other things irrlicht doesnt really have yet.

im thinking the best you're going to get is a dynamic light that you can turn on/off and maybe change the luminescense on.

ok i'll give that a try but if anyone has any other ideas then tell me.
