Is it possible to set up some lights in GLDEFS so that one frame/state/sprite of an actor has two lights attached to it? If so, how?
The Blur Sphere in lights.pk3 seems to try to do this, but I'm not convinced it's actually doing it. Also, it seems to be trying to allocate one light to the whole actor, and then separate lights to individual frames.
I'd like to have two lights - different colours and different positions, on one actor. They don't always appear at the same time, but sometimes they do.
Currently, I'm faking it by getting the actor to spawn a second actor that has the second light attached for frames when two lights are required.
More than one light on the same frame of an actor?

Maybe you can make use of A_AttachLightDef and A_RemoveLight?

Oh, that might well work. I'll give it a go later. Thank you.
Edit:
Works like a charm. I was vaguely aware of those commands, but had never used them and had forgotten that they existed.
So, once again, thank you.
