Light Spot Angle

Zoc

<div class="IPBDescription">how to change Y axis ?</div> I could change the X axis, by setting pitch... but how can I change the Y axis ? I couldn't find a Yaw in it (at least, separed from "Pitch Yaw Roll")

or do pitch yaw roll work?

I couldn't manage it yet...

The way I do it is have the light_spot point to an info_target. Simply put the name of the info_target in the Target field of the light_spot.

Also if you're trying to add a spot over a light/command center/hive/other necessary structure you may just want to name that entity and target it with your spot. It saves you an info_target and makes the highlighting follow if you do some slight adjustments. I guess that would make it possible to do marine start/ hive spotlights through clever use of named team_starts. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

If you're going to add something to a map exclusively to point a light_spot at it, it's actually much better to use an info_null, which is ignored by the server when the map loads and doesn't count toward the NS entity limit.
