I need to know how to create a decent flashlight in DBC (I know, I would have gotten DBP, but I foolishly spent my money on DBC first...)

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated

Here's a tutorial I made on creating a flashlight.

It's for DBP, but it should work exactly the same with DBC.



A book? I hate book. Book is stupid.

I'm sorry but - could you be kind enough to convert it to DBC script (I'm pathetic at it! ).

The DBC's Make Light command is defined as:

Quote: " This command will create a new light in the scene. You can create upto 7 new lights, numbered 1 to 7. Light zero is the default light and is always present. The light number must be specified using an integer value. "


But, when I create 10 or 100 lights using the following script I don't get any error or anything:
for i = 1 to 100
make light i
next i


I'm just curious as to what's really happening here - any explanations?
