Light Problem

[Pilot]

I am making two types of airport lights for an island I'm also making.  I have completed the modelling, binarized them, and written a config for them.  However, the light does not work.  I'm quite sure the problem is in my config.  Here it is:

#define TEast 0
#define TWest 1
#define TGuerrila 2
#define TCivilian 3
#define TSideUnknown 4
#define TEnemy 5
#define TFriendly 6
#define TLogic 7
#define true 1
#define false 0
#define private 0
#define protected 1
#define public 2

      colorAmbient[] = {0.1,0.1,0.1};
      brightness = .3;
      armorBulb = 1;
   };
};

What's wrong with it?

[Pilot]

Never Mind!

Sometimes I'm an idiot!

class bluelight: Streetlamp
   {
      scope=protected;
      model = "bluelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      colorDiffuse[] = {0.1, 0.1, 1};
      colorAmbient[] = {0.1, 0.1, 0.1};
      brightness = .3;
      armorBulb = 1;
   };
   class whitelight: Streetlamp
   {  
      scope=protected;
      model = "whitelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      colorDiffuse[] = {1, 1, 1};
      colorAmbient[] = {0.1,0.1,0.1};
      brightness = .3;
      armorBulb = 1;
   };
};

Should Be:

class bluelight: Streetlamp
   {
      scope=protected;
      model = "LarsenOBJ\bluelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      colorDiffuse[] = {0.1, 0.1, 1};
      colorAmbient[] = {0.1, 0.1, 0.1};
      brightness = .3;
      armorBulb = 1;
   };
   class whitelight: Streetlamp
   {  
      scope=protected;
      model = "LarsenOBJ\whitelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      colorDiffuse[] = {1, 1, 1};
      colorAmbient[] = {0.1,0.1,0.1};
      brightness = .3;
      armorBulb = 1;
   };
};

I forgot to include the name of my pbo in the "model" section.

Ok, I have to unslove this topic, as I have another problem.

I am trying to make two different lights, blue and white.

The white light works fine.
My blue light shows up with a white light.

Here are my settings:

class CfgNonAIVehicles
{
   class Streetlamp{};

   class bluelight: Streetlamp
   {
      scope=protected;
      model = "\LarsenOBJ\bluelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      color[] = {0, 0, 1};
      Ambient[] = {0, 0, .02};
      brightness = .07;
      armorBulb = .5;
   };
   class whitelight: Streetlamp
   {   
      scope=protected;
      model = "\LarsenOBJ\whitelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      color[] = {1, 1, 1};
      Ambient[] = {0.02, 0.02, 0.02};
      brightness = .07;
      armorBulb = .5;
   };
};

I have tried achanging "color" and "ambient", to no effect.  What do I have to do to get a blue light?

[Planck]

Try this instead:

Code: [Select]

class CfgNonAIVehicles
{
   class Streetlamp{};

   class bluelight: Streetlamp
   {
      scope=protected;
      model = "\LarsenOBJ\bluelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      color[] = {0, 0, 1};
      Ambient[] = {0, 0, .02, 0.0};
      brightness = .07;
      armorBulb = .5;
   };
   class whitelight: Streetlamp
   {  
      scope=protected;
      model = "\LarsenOBJ\whitelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      color[] = {1, 1, 1};
      Ambient[] = {0.02, 0.02, 0.02, 0.0};
      brightness = .07;
      armorBulb = .5;
   };
};

No, it didn't work.

Does the "Streetlamp" class allow for changes in color?  Or is just the "Fire" class that allows it?

[Planck]

Sorry my mistake .......I really should pay more attention.

Try this:

Code: [Select]


class CfgNonAIVehicles
{
  class Streetlamp{};

  class bluelight: Streetlamp
  {
      scope=protected;
      model = "\LarsenOBJ\bluelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      colorDiffuse[] = {0, 0, 1, 0};
      colorAmbient[] = {0, 0, .02, 0.0};
      brightness = .07;
      armorBulb = .5;
  };
  class whitelight: Streetlamp
  {
      scope=protected;
      model = "\LarsenOBJ\whitelight.p3d";
      destrType=DestructTree;
      simulation=StreetLamp;
      colorDiffuse[] = {1, 1, 1, 0};
      colorAmbient[] = {0.02, 0.02, 0.02, 0.0};
      brightness = .07;
      armorBulb = .5;
  };
};

Once again sorry.............. I forgot the color[] bit.
Also.......class Streetlamp doesn't use color[] and Ambient[]........it uses colordiffuse and colorambient

Hope it works ok this time

Does the "Streetlamp" class allow for changes in color?

Yes it is possible to change the colours for class streetlamp, I have done it many times.

Look at the picture .....link at the bottom.

Although, there is still the problem of the light cone when using elevated runway lamps.
I haven't been able to eliminate it at all.

Thank you for helping me again Planck!  It works great now!
