Glow is missing?

[MysticWolf1147]

Hey guys, 

So, i made a character that glows, and the glow works fine in both day and night, but when that character dies and respawns via telltale heart or portal, her glow is missing! Does anyone know how to fix this?  

Thanks in advance,

@MysticWolf1147, You need to do something like this:

inst:ListenForEvent("ms_respawnedfromghost", RestoreLight)

Thank you! I'll try that out!

It didnt seem to work It came up with a crash

@MysticWolf1147, I said "something like this" -- you can't just use that directly, you need to write a function RestoreLight that reactivates the light.

 

The thing is that ghosts have light, so when the character respawns it turns the light off. You just have to turn it back on again, and reset the size of the light. Should be pretty similar to your initial code for creating the glow.

Anyone care to help write a function that restores light on resurrection for me? Ive tried to write one but i cant get it to work cause im a noob any help would be greatly appreciated!

@MysticWolf1147, as rezecib said, just put the same code you used to give that character glow in the first place.

local function RestoreLight(inst)    -- Put the code that you used to give your character glow hereendinst:ListenForEvent("ms_respawnedfromghost", RestoreLight)
