This is now driving me mad...

I have NEVER been able to get lighting of any kind to work in any of my games, beyond ambient, and, now I know I just need help. The lighting sample isn't clear on how the lighting terms work (for me at least) and, all I want to do is create the effect of a spotlight over the table...

PLEASE can someone help?



The offending result:



Any help much appreciated,

HUGE thanks in advance,

Might want to use
dbSetPointLight

or

dbSetSpotLight

to get the effect you are looking for

Thanks alot for the input, but dbSetPointLight and dbSetSpotLight are commands that set the type of light and position it.

I've tried both to no great effect, but, I guess I just dont know enough about the lights used by the engine...

Thanks again though,

Thanks DaddyJ,

I'm sorry I didn't do so before. In a test reusing both commands, I was able to produce a shadow across the 'cue ball', so, I'm getting SOMEWHERE, which is better than nowhere...

I'll post screenshots up soon =)

Thanks again,
