I think this is pretty self explanatory, but I’m trying to achieve a result where certain objects are affected only by certain lights. EG, you can have one area with a full sun lamp, and another area which is dark.
I achieved this before, but I lost the blend, and forget how I did it.
This is the same computer I achieved this on before, as well as the same version of blender.
I’m using GLSL.
The “This layer only” checkbox makes the light not render on any layers.
Everyone I talk to says this can’t be done in BGE. Besides the fact that I did it myself before, I’ve learned there’s allays a workaround, and would love any tips, ideas, or suggestions from you guys!
Layer in this case is the actual object layer in your scene, so in order to miss-and-match objects you will have to activate several layers at the time when running your game.
So, are you saying I should start with the layers off, then activate them once the game starts?
If I didn’t provide enough information, I want Layer A to have light and not layer B.
If I place a light in layer A, and check “this layer only”, it still lights up layer B if I run the game with both layers visible.
UPBGE is really wonky. If I’m going to take the time to learn a new engine, I’m going to learn Unreal 4. I appreciate the recommendation, but many of the python scripts don’t even work properly in it.
Anyone have recommendations on how to achieve this in BGE?
Surely there must be some way to make certain objects not affected by certain lights, yet affected by others. I did it before.
it’s not a new engine, it’s BGE on steroids.
Some things indeed have changed a tiny bit but not that much, if you run into script problems, look into your console, it should say what you need to change for it to work. if you use libloads async option, this is changed into asynchronous. so there can be a few tiny changes that you need to make in order to work properly
i have a big project that works just fine in bge 2.74 and clear up to upbge 024. sure i had to add a version check for mouselook and globaldict, but otherwise its pretty similar.
I might try it again… The interface just looks so… Crappy… It’s like everything’s poorly anti-aliased… Some of the scripts work… Some don’t… Hmm… I’ll give it a try…
strange it works just fine on my machine using blender 2.79b
1 lamp in layer 1 set this layer only on it
1 lamp in layer 2 set this layer only on it
put a few object in both layers
have both layers active
set one lamp to a different value (change the color of the light)
press p
Um… I think I’ve been wasting everyone’s time…
Every time I tried to test the lighting system, I zoomed out…
I forgot I was using “levels of detail”, and the low poly levels were on the wrong layer…
I’m really sorry guys… You were so helpful too…
Sorry for wasting everyone’s time. X|
