Posted October 10, 201213 yr If you couldn't tell, I would like to make it so that a player can emit light. I would like to make it so that when one of the items in my mod is eaten, the player will emit light for a short period of time. If anyone knows how to do this and can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
October 11, 201213 yr I was recently watching a discussion on this topic, can't quite remember where (redpower forums, or slowpoke's twitch...who knows)... And it looks/sounded like the best way to implement this would be to implement a transparent light-emitting block that follows the player around. It sounded like it was mostly a workaround for a lack of moving/positional lights in MCs lighting engine. Apparently there have been _some_ mods that did moving lights, but it was said they were extremely laggy. While its not telling you _how_ to do it, hopefully this can offer some insight as to how you should tackle your problem. Shadowmage
October 12, 201213 yr Entities that emit light are impossible. You can have the block that follows the player around, but that's not reccommended. So, what would happen if I did push that shiny red button over there? ... Really? ... Can I try it? ... Damn.
