Greetings fellas.

Testing out the engine, trying to place a light source using:
light = CreatePointLight(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 100.0, 255, 255, 255)

I keep getting the error:


Error:


I've tried both setting the light index variable inside the function and trying:
variable = CreatePointLight

Can anyone confirm if this is a bug or I'm just stupid.
I'm probably stupid...

OOOOOH jesus... because lights are like cameras, they have to be index by a number, light 1, 2,3 etc... That's why the variable worked. I set it to 1 so Light 1 gets created.

Wait. . . Do you mean that AppGameKit Studio supports 2D lights ?

CreatePointLight( lightID, x, y, z, radius, red, green, blue ) is a 3D function so those point lights wont work on 2D sprites.

What he meant was that the CreatePointLight() function doesnt return an ID for the light that was "created" its one of the few functions that doesnt work that way so you have to explicitly give it a light ID to create.

AGK doesnt support 2D lighting on sprites with easy setup functions but you can wrap functions which apply a shader that allows you to create and set 2D light positions and apply those to sprites easily - so you get 2D lighting and even normal mapping etc.... Its just not as easy in 2D as the functions aren't built in so you need to apply a suitable shader yourself.
