They updated light(glow)?

[rons0n]

The glow code doesn't work anymore so I'm guessing they modified something about it.
 Does anyone know what they changed? Heres what I usually do:

	inst.entity:AddLight()    inst.Light:Enable(true)    inst.Light:SetRadius(1)    inst.Light:SetFalloff(.6)    inst.Light:SetIntensity(0.9)    inst.Light:SetColour(49/255,114/255,231/255)

But because of recent updates this code makes it so clients can't see the glow anymore.

@rons0n, I can delete the thread, but I'm curious what did you discover? Would it be helpful for anyone else?

@PeterA,

btw, i recently discovered that talker doesn't network the Textcolor to the clients.

@PeterA, nothing much Peter. I just now realized that all my custom glow items never glowed to the clients ever in the first place. So it's just me being silly because I never tried out the glow as a client before. It's just astonishing no one ever informed me for 3+ months lol.

 

But I guess I'll ask now because I still don't know the answer. Anyone know who to make things glow to the clients? Heres what I have for an example:

 

local assets ={	Asset("ANIM", "anim/formbluegem.zip"),    Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/formbluegem.xml"),	Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/formbluegem.tex"),}local prefabs = {	"bluegem",}-- Still does nothing. Dunno what it should do...local function fn(Sim)	local inst = CreateEntity()	inst.entity:AddTransform()	inst.entity:AddAnimState()    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)	inst.entity:AddTransform()	inst.entity:AddAnimState()	inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()    inst.entity:AddNetwork()    	inst:AddTag("formbluegem")	    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then        return inst    end		inst.entity:AddLight()    inst.Light:Enable(true)    inst.Light:SetRadius(1)    inst.Light:SetFalloff(.6)    inst.Light:SetIntensity(0.9)    inst.Light:SetColour(49/255,114/255,231/255)		inst.entity:SetPristine()         inst.AnimState:SetBank("formbluegem")    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("formbluegem")    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle", false)	    MakeHauntableLaunch(inst)    inst:AddComponent("inspectable")		inst:AddComponent("stackable")	inst.components.stackable.maxsize = TUNING.STACK_SIZE_SMALLITEM			inst:AddComponent("perishable")	inst.components.perishable:SetPerishTime(TUNING.PERISH_ONE_DAY)	inst.components.perishable:StartPerishing()	inst.components.perishable.onperishreplacement = "bluegem"	    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")	inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "formbluegem"	inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/formbluegem.xml"	    return instendreturn Prefab( "common/inventory/formbluegem", fn, assets) 

 

Much is appreciated

   if not TheWorld.ismastersim then        return inst    end

 

This effectively tells the initialization function to check if it's the host, and if not, to exit the function there.  Only the host will execute any commands after that point.  Your code that adds lighting is located just after that if statement, so clients never execute it.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention ya, @rons0n
