Great question! I don't have 100% on prizes and haven't found a spots like in either LBP1 or LBP2.

I did have a bit of success by using the invisible light source and stick them in the pattern needed. Not really what I wanted, but it "sorta" works.

Hopefully someone has a better solution.

Well... it wasn't really invisible, but it is a ball of light rather than being an led bulb of some sort.2013-01-18 20:32:00

There's a single light beam decoration that can be used to create a fake spot light...it's not an actual light source but I think it looks really good. As for invisible lights, many of the light source objects can have their display turned off; so they can illuminate an area without the light having to be seen by the player (same as with lights in LBP2).

I think jww was trying to put several invisible lights in a row to try to create a beam...this is a bad idea. You can only have 2 lights in addition to the global light hitting a single surface in LBPV...if you place more than 2 lights in an area weird stuff happens with surfaces not being illuminated at all.

Assuming you want your spot to rotate, see if maybe the decoration and a single invisible light near the end is sufficient to get a decent spot light effect.

This jww guy gives terrible advice...has he even created a level?!?

Yeah.. I suck!! ..and keep waiting for you to straighten me out!! lol

Actually I was wanting a beam up through a line of material that I have as gas to give it a glow of sorts. Used to be easy in LBP1 or 2. I only put down like 3 or 4 in that row in the gas. It didn't look too terrible at least!

Thanks for the advice!!

Open microchips and sequencers give off a beam of light!


...probably terrible advice though

I just realized last night that you cannot show an open circut board in play mode so that wouldn't work anyway.2013-01-29 23:14:00
