How to make lava [water]fall glow?

[Lagi]

How can I make lava waterfall glow in darkness?


Also,

I would like the light from floor lava to increase the lighting in the room a little, as you see on above picture banks of lava river are pitch dark, and tips how to do that? Dynamic lights attach?

in GLDEF

Code: Select all

Glow
{
	Flats
	{
		FLATHUH1
		FLATHUH2
		FLATHUH3
		FLATHUH4
		FLTLAVA1
		FLTLAVA2
		FLTLAVA3
		FLTLAVA4
	} 
	Texture FLATHUH1, red, fullbright
	Texture FLATHUH2, red, fullbright
	Texture FLATHUH3, red, fullbright
	Texture FLATHUH4, red, fullbright
}

You may have better luck just using dynamic lights close to the waterfall with an orange color. You could also add some to the floor lava to add a bit more glow in the rest of the room too. I would try a few PointLights with and intensity set to 125% of the width of the linedef of the lavafall/floor lava a few units in front of it. Then for the lavafall you can just add a few more at higher z offsets to light up the whole lavafall.

In UDMF map format, in sectors properties, there are colors tab. There you can set various sector color properties, which would add a little color to the sector in form of lighting.
Alternatively, use a non solid 3d floor. Still require UDMF. Set it height to some value (so that it will fill target sector slightly) and then just set some color for a model sector to transfer its color to 3d floor.

thanks guys, but im not making a map.

You can increase the glow height in the GLDEF

e.g.: Texture FLATHUH1, red, 192, fullbright

As for attaching dynamic lights to textures, maybe take a look at FANCY WORLD and see how it attaches actors to defined textures. It uses actors to play sounds but I imagine you could have them spawn light actors too.

Thanks Officer, that helps,

yes there is some code with wall proximity checking in zscript, i am completely depleted after work, maybe later thanks for hint
