Cube light

#1 · November 23, 2011, 11:45 pm

Hey I'm trying to get light to glow from a cube I tried to parent light_dynamic and beam_spotlight to it but none of them work, I can parent them to a prop_physbox I'm beginning to think that it's impossible to parent to a weighted cube?

EDIT: Never mind, turns out when you use an Entity Maker kinda messes up the cube or something, anyways I found a way around it.

Well actually I was talking about any parenting to a cube but for some reason entity makers were messing with parenting so I just put a block under the cube to it's spawn, and used a Kill output to kill the block via a trigger brush. But it's no problem since it only spawns once for the map. I can parent sounds to the cube though.. but I plan on releasing it so I don't wanna spoil it. As for lighting I just skipped that part I still couldn't get lights to parent to the cube :notwant: but I saw a youtube video of a light cube.

But if anyone knows how to parent a light to a cube please tell me <3

When parenting a dynamic light to a cube, be sure that you turn it on. there can only be one light_dynamic or env_projedtexture at a time. So make sure that the light is also working if you don't parent it.
