Question about Key Custom Textures

[forgettable pyromaniac]

i copy pasted key graphics from doom2
and edited them to instead of being red and yellow, they would be green and black respectively, but they don't turn the colors I changed them to.



am i just dumb, or do i not know the name of the key graphics, or??

And one more thing because I'm dumb:
can i change the dynamic lights color for them? ._ .

GLDEFS lump. You have to define a light, then attach the light to frame(s) of the actor. So, define some simple pointlight and then bind it to the key frames.

UPDATE: I got the sprite to change color, but not dynamic lighting.

I needed to add S_START and S_END markers to my wad (aaaaaaaaaaaaa that took 3 hours to find)

If anyone knows how to change an actor's dynamic lighting color, leme know :)

Learn from existing pwads.

Open Enjay's Gene-Tech and/or Waterlab and work through the GLDEFS examples.

As a matter of fact learn just about any aspect of GZDoom mapping from these examples and how to do proper housekeeping of lumps in pk3 structured pwads.
