Candle qualms

[Serpentine]

Its pretty easy, from start to finish :

• Create a new candle entity (not model)
  
• Select the candle
  
• Go to the Entity tab
  
• In the top bar under the list put in "set _color on flame"
  
• In the bar under that put the value "0.78 0.45 0.13"
  
• Hit enter
  

 

And you should be done. Note that there is no colour picker easily accessable this way. So use a test light first to find the correct values that you want

...but where?

 

Have you been reading the wiki? You should really familiarize yourself with editing in Dark Radiant. It doesn't sound like you've covered the basics yet.

great, perfect. set light_radius on flame works as well. is there a resource of useful info like this that i can reference when trying to modify other entities in DR? i've been looking through the wiki and found nothing like this that has useful commands. like "on". never would of figured the syntax would be "on" as opposed to "to" or just nothing at all to link it to that entity, but i got no idea what i'm doing. what is the name of what i'm doing here when i use this syntax to modify things. Am I spawnarging, or scripting, or just editing?

Im currently on page 4 of the A to Z guide at the time i started playing with the candles. Notice how i was creating candles in my original post is EXACTLY how the A to Z guide tells you to do it. i searched that tutorial list, as well as the category list in the wiki, and some of the subcategories of those categories before posting. Just plain haven't been able to find anything. sorry, just totally noob.

I think the A-Z was written well before light entities were constructed. So at that time a candle WAS a manual job. But now they are pretty much a one click creation (unless you want to change them somehow).

 

I suppose Fidcal will read this and update the A-Z. ????

Combo entities are a relatively "new" concept, and we still worked out some issues, and DR doesn't properly support them yet (it does not preview the auto-attached entities, nor does it let you "set" spawnargs on them), so you must do it manually. Sorry but we hope to improve this some time

 

There is a wiki article, tho:

As someone else wrote, we forgot to update the A to Z guide. Sorry! You can update it yourself, if you wish, or wait until someone else has time.
