dlight

This is an entity on id Tech 3 engines, present on RTCW Single Player, RTCW Multiplayer and Enemy Territory. Below you can find its spawnflags, keys and editor settings for each game that defines it.

RTCW Single Player

Stylestring characters run at 10 cps in the game. (meaning the alphabet, at 24 characters, would take 2.4 seconds to cycle)

Use color picker to set color or key "color". values are 0.0-1.0 for each color (rgb).

styles: 1 - "mmnmmommommnonmmonqnmmo" 2 - "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba" 3 - "mmmmmaaaaammmmmaaaaaabcdefgabcdefg" 4 - "ma" 5 - "jklmnopqrstuvwxyzyxwvutsrqponmlkj" 6 - "nmonqnmomnmomomono" 7 - "mmmaaaabcdefgmmmmaaaammmaamm" 8 - "aaaaaaaazzzzzzzz" 9 - "mmamammmmammamamaaamammma" 10 - "abcdefghijklmnopqrrqponmlkjihgfedcba" 11 - "mmnommomhkmmomnonmmonqnmmo" 12 - "kmamaamakmmmaakmamakmakmmmma" 13 - "kmmmakakmmaaamammamkmamakmmmma" 14 - "mmnnoonnmmmmmmmmmnmmmmnonmmmmmmm" 15 - "mmmmnonmmmmnmmmmmnonmmmmmnmmmmmmm" 16 - "zzzzzzzzaaaaaaaa" 17 - "zzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" 18 - "aaaaaaaazzzzzzzzaaaaaaaa" 19 - "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzz"

Spawnflags

Flag	Bit	Description
FORCEACTIVE	1	- toggle makes sure this light stays alive in a map even if the user has r_dynamiclight set to 0.
STARTOFF	2	- means the dlight doesn't spawn in until ent is triggered
ONETIME	4	- when the dlight is triggered, it will play through it's cycle once, then shut down until triggered again

Keys

Key	Description
style	: value is an int from 1-19 that contains a pre-defined 'flicker' string.
stylestring	: set your own 'flicker' string. (ex. "klmnmlk"). NOTE: this should be all lowercase
offset	: change the initial index in a style string. So val of 3 in the above example would start this light at 'N'. (used to get dlights using the same style out of sync).
atten	: offset from the alpha values of the stylestring. stylestring of "ddeeffzz" with an atten of -1 would result in "ccddeeyy"
shader	name of shader to apply
sound	sound to loop every cycle (this actually just plays the sound at the beginning of each cycle)
