Changing lighting via logic...is it possible?

Archive: 4 posts


I am trying to make a thunderstorm generator, which will flash the entire level bright for a moment to simulate lightning. However, the global lighting tweaker does not seem to work when I hook up its input to anything that generates an output.

I tried putting a lighting tweaker on a sequencer, and it did not work. Next, I tried hooking up the output of a timer to the input of a lighting tweaker...nothing. I even tried hooking up a battery to a tweaker...still nothing. Global lighting tweakers only seem to trigger when you move a player inside its trigger volume.

I might be using logic and global lighting tweakers incorrectly. Hopefully that is the case, since I will end up scrapping my next racing level idea (takes place in a thunderstorm) if I cannot get this effect to work.

The global lighting tweaker has an area of effect attached to it. It ONLY effects players in that area of effect regardless of input type, so increase it so it covers the entire level.

If you have it on a sequencer, its area is only active while it is active, and it should cease effecting the lighting when not active.

You could work with timers set to count down from 0.1 seconds or however long you want the lightning effect to occur. Set up a few lights around the track (where you want the lightning flashes to hit the hardest) and add the timer to a sequencer. That's what I did for my arena based around light sequences.

If you want lightning bolts to appear during a race as well along with a lighting effect, you could place a lightning bolt in the emitter and time it so that they appear and disappear at certain intervals.

I set the trigger volume of the global lighting tweaker to fill the whole level. And it does work. I'm able to make the lighting change to simulate lightning flashes.

Thanks for the help, Ivo!
