I am making making a fun little horror game and I am in need of a flashlight. I have looked through the Aum's and found the code it provides and the code works great, however the light is horrible. I know it is possible to make a great flashlight with shaders, but I'm using the free version. Is there any way to make a flashlight that works better than this...


through past experiences I know it looks better with the more faces it reacts with, but I don't want to make four walls made of 100+ cubes just to get a decent light effect.

Open the advanced Map Compiler options and increase the surface tesselation (which means that you decrease the value(s)).

Thank you for your quick response Superku, I did as you suggested and put the values as low as i could until the compiler crashed and this is the result.

Is it possible to do anything else, because I'd hate to sound like a pain, but this still isn't good enough.

Thank you for this information though regardless.

Not with the free version/ without shaders I fear.

Okay, that's what I was afraid of. Thank you though.

Have you looked here yet?

I searched the AUM but never found that, Thank you!

However has anyone tried this demo? I run all four scripts, but the projections are inverted it seems. What is supposed to be "shadow" is completely transparent and what is supposed to be not a shadow is black.

trying to use the img tag but it doesn't work with dropbox somehow

Sorry for my bad English...

Are you using an integrated graphics card? They might have problems rendering those projection textures. Just tested on my GeForce 610M, it worked just fine:

But after I switched to my Intel HD 4000:

This sounds like a stupid idea, but...why don't you invert the colors of the projection textures using an image editor, then in the game you throw some graphics checking functions, then decide to use the original projected texture or use the inverted one..That should solve the problem with integrated cards.
