set_terrain and light

[Enraged Slith]

I tried using the set_terrain call to turn some unlit braziers into lit braziers and the light braziers don't actually give off any light. What?

Unfortunately the lighting's calculated by the editor when you save (not in-game). There used to be a code snippet for changing light levels in-game (using the memory staining stuff) on the blades forge, but that's not accessible right now. I *think* Lazarus used it in Threnody so that might be a place to look?

 

EDIT!: It looks like the snippet's still on google cache. See HERE for Windows and HERE for Mac

 

also this thread might be useful?

You might also look at SV, and the threads/forums on there, but I can't guarantee that they talked about all that there, since I didn't follow all that staining guff.

There's also a platform-detecting script which you can use to make your light-changing work on both Windows and Mac without having separate versions of some of your scripts.
