Is it possible to "throw" a light?

I'm guessing not, but if so, boy oh boy would that be cool. You could use it like a flash bomb thing that blinds the enemies, then explodes! BANG!

If you can't throw a light, is there a way of throwing a decal?

you can throw a lamp entity, but not a light, or both together...

And no, I think throwing decals isn't possible


For all my free FPSC entities!

OK, well maybe I could make a flash-bomb-shaped entity with UV lightmapping and make it really bright? Do you think that would do the trick?

To tell you the truth, I don't even know what UV mapping is, all I know is that with an ambience level of 0, any UV lightmapping is lit up.

Let me rephrase...

OK, well maybe I could find a way to make a flash-bomb-shaped entity with some assistance in creating the UV lightmapping and make it really bright? Do you think that would do the trick?

I guess that would work too with some clever animation but maybe there is a frame limit? or maybe its just a picture so that wouldn't work

This is a great idea. I remember playing Aliens vs. Predator and as the marines you had to throw flares to light up the dark areas. Is that the kind of thing you're talking about? I just got FPSC today (decided I needed a distraction from DBP) and don't really know what it's capable of yet. I don't expect to be able to remake AvP, but throwing the flares definitely added something to the creepy, desperate atmosphere of the game.

I guess that'd be like throwing a lamp entity like pigs can fly mentioned. Anyway, I'd love to figure this one out as well.
