Hi, I\'ll be quick and simple. Is there a way to create a \'pointed light\' IE, light emitting from a bulb in a certain direction instead of 360 degrees illumination.

Secondly, is there a way to move bulbs up or down? I\'m placing lighting, and entities to cast the lighting but they don\'t always line up and the effect is ruined.

I suppose an invisible cone might work, but pure directional lightning by the engine itself has never been added.

Moving lights, or any entity up and down is fairly easy by the way.. PageUp/PageDown.

Yay! thanks a lot, I didn't know about moving entities up and down, very handy As for the directional lighting, I've changed the positioning of the light source and its come out a bit better so I think it'll do as is. Thanks for the help.

Someone did a tutorial on directional lighting somewhere. Use the search function.
