Quake3World

Hi

Is it possible to apply an triggerable dynamic light entity in q3 ?
or place an object that would emit such light, like gauntlet weapon do ?
and such object could be triggerable like func_door entity

Not in baseq3, but there is a feature in EntityPlus that does basically this.

All *_funcs with the ability to spawn a dynamic model (model2 key) are equipped with a "color" and a "light" key.
Dedicated to lit the model this also lits the world around.

Check out my sample map and shit bricks: http://sst13.de/map-d-light.pk3 (25kB)

The "light" key is a little bit tricky. You have to tweak the value to get the best result. 100 - 300 depending how far the desired surface is located.
To turn the light off, you have to move the *_funcs origin into a solid structural brush. (The one with the stairs in the sample map)

hmm nice

This is the best hack/secret I have seen in a long while - amazing!!!

ok so I really didnt had much time to test your sample map yet, but I did it today after several problem with my motherboard and graphic card and I can say GJ

but its really odd that whatever I put this static func_door object along with attached model2 object on the map I'll get different light variations, I need to practice with it a little more, but here's my real question, is there a possibility that I could attach gauntlet object with the same flickering light animation as when you choose gauntlet weapon on your inventory and push fire button?

@sst13, unfortunately for me, artificial lights provided by You are not enough sufficient and generates significant FPS drops

maybe its because of my map structure and the place where I wanted to use those dynamic lights, theres some small light appear but its barely noticeable, most noticeable is: once they appear massive FPS drops came along with them, even if I minimized these lights to 1 at the end =)

Maybe You could provide some more complex sample map with models and different environment places where those dynamic lights can be used and appear without any problems?
