Sprites?

[Dan22]

In Source SDK you can place a sprite to mimic the shine of a light.

 

Example:

 

 

If anyone has a tutorial or method of making these would be much apreciated.

 

If this is impossible in the current version of engine then I suggest this feature as it just brings more life into lighting.

You can do this yourself with a scripted plane model, but yeah this is one little feature that will be built into the engine.

 

Actually, I might just do a script for this since it's not any different from what I would write in C++.

How to achieve this then?

Super old technique used in Unreal first game, Perfect Dark on N64 and many games.

Just trace a simple raycast from camera player position to the sprite object halo center, if no obstacle display the sprite, if obstacle don't display the halo sprite. You just need simple transparent TGA halo image for example.
