dont forget that a light will only shine on the verticies (or CORNERS) of the object. If you have a cube that's huge, and each side is only one polygon, you can only see the light on the corners of the cube. A light can only shine on the corner of each polygonal face

; I'm using a plain...plus I never knew that...

Here's my code without the use of textures so you can see for yourself what I'm doing:


BackDrop Off

` Set display mode
Set Display Mode 800, 600, 32 : Hide Mouse

` create background
Make Object Plain 1, 800, 600
Texture Object 1, 2
Rotate Object 1, 9, 0, 0
Position Object 1, 0, 0, 150

` create scrolling text plain
Make Object Plain 2, 800, 600
Position Object 2, 0, 0, -425
Rotate Object 2, 65, 0, 0
Scale Object 2, 150, 400, 100
Set Object Transparency 2, 1

` create light
Make Light 1
Set Light Range 1, 50
Position Light 1, 5, 5, 5

Wait key


Sigh...
