Hi.. im newbie mapping..Im workin in my first map for call of duty series, i have 4 days worked in one map but im confused about the lantern_lit prefab file...
Which the accurate way to place that lanterns.. i tried alot of lanters from xmodels too.. but dont works, tried the prefab one in prefab/mp/lights/lantern1.map and dont work too.. all these has no fire into it..
Now after add ,,compile..test.. remove..compile ...test that lanterns alot of times i got a weird error if ill do multiple shots at the map like G_Spawn:No free entities and i see 1021 lines after that crash with nodes like `--

You need to define the lanternlight in your fx .gsc.

Sample mp_yourmapname_fx.gsc

main()
{
	precacheFX();
	ambientFX();
	level.scr_sound["flak88_explode"]	= "flak88_explode"; // needed for sd gametype
}

precacheFX()
{
	level._effect["flak_explosion"]				= loadfx ("fx/explosions/flak88_explosion.efx"); // needed for sd gametype
        level._effect["lantern_light"]	                        = loadfx("fx/props/glow_latern.efx");
}


ambientFX()
{

// add your smoke, dust effects etc... here

}

as for the other errors remove the singleplayer elements from your map

Ohh need precache that lantern too lmao tnx..

Its my fault i forgot to remove the nodes from the SP prefabs DOH!!!!

ok, let's revisit this. I placed the prefab lanten into my map and created the fx .gsc file to match my map name and all that. I made the gsc file exactly as veef showed. my problem is that I do not see the flame in the lantern. is there something else I am supposed to add into my map before compiling? Is there a flame fx prop that I need?

the prefab you want to use is "lantern_lit" in the lamps directory of your prefabs.

ok, cool, I figured I was missing something simple. thanks, I was looking in the wrong place for the lantern.

what would be the loadfx propety be if u used the light_walllightcrystal_on model?
