Any developers know much about this? Could just try applying the rand_osc script to a particle; that might work. Or it might be barking up the wrong tree entirely.

Yes, I'd like to try and get this working again. I wonder if the original candle entities are still around somewhere?

Those prefabs are still in the repo, and show how to use oscillating particles. Note that they appear to have the doubled light source and doubled particle issue (it'll be really bright and you'll see two particle flames; one moving, one not) which came up for some reason I can't remember (changed definitions?), but they're just an old prefab that shows how it works. Once we have a suitable, friendly, consistent candle system, we should get rid of the prefabs as they are former generation and buggy now.

Ok, I'll take a look, thanks. I should have the next-gen candles done by the end of the weekend and it would be nice to add this in.

Please see http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showt...st&p=186403 for why this isn't as easy as it sounds (it is actually easy, just a lot of work). It would also waste one extra entity per each candle/torch flame and I am not sure this is worth it
