Addon : SpotLights



Requirements

How do add a spotlight to your scene :

I'll use car headlights as example here :
=============================


1.  Make sure all skinmehes you want to react to a SpotLight MUST be using a _user_ shader (any).
2.  Add a spotlight by pressing CTRL+D, go to effects and select SpotLight01
     (if this is the first spotlight or pointlight in your scene), if you already have a spot or pointlight, select SpotLight02 and so on..
3.  Add your car
4.  Position "SpotLight01 : Pos / Range / Color", to the front of the car in the editor. you can also edit color/range by clicking it.
5.  Link Car with SpotLight01 Script : Cone/Orientation/Target(s), open it and make sure this is true (if not edit it)

   int   OrientationObject = OBJ_0;   

You might want to boost intensity in daylight or set the sun to black

  float intensity = 5;

The cone of light is also adjustable

  float cone = 50;   //higher value gives more narrow cone. 0 will set spot as pointlight

6.  Link SpotLight01 Script : Cone/Orientation/Target(s) to every skinmesh you shaded in 1.

You now have a spotlight as headlights.
Repeat for Spotlight02-04 if you need.

The addon also contains a shadable default terrain and a sample project called SpotLightDemo.3dr
The shadable terrain can be found by pressing Ctrl+D under Terrains.
