creating torches

[legacy-xidis]

im creating an egypt level which I want to use torches as my primary light source, but I don't know how to do it. I know u have to use emitters but I dont know how to use those either. If someone could tell me how to do it, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, what other kinds of lights are in a realistic egyptian level?

Why dont you open up the egyptian levels that come with the game and have a look at what they use.

There's no short way to explain how to do it if you don't know nothing about emitters. First read some basic emitter tutorials and then ask some specific question if you encounter a problem. There's realy a lot of settings to concider here.

All about emitters:

Or if you have found fire effect in another map that would suit your level, there's copy-paste option in editor:
1. Open that map, right-klick on the emitter that you like -> Edit -> Copy
2. Open your map right-klick where you want the torch -> Edit -> Paste -> Here.

After that you can still tweak the emitter a bit.

I'd use xEmitters, normal Emitters are more of a pain than they're worth. I have a basic tutorial and another one that explains all of the properties on my site (link in sig).
