Projected Textures: ingame and Hammer
Also, the projected texture in my map seems to be having no effect. It's enables, light world, cast shadows, high quality shadows, but area still only seems to be being lit by the light entity on the bts_light instance.
To get the 'cone' to display in hammer you need to make sure the 'Toggle Helpers' button on the tool bar is pressed. Is the one next to the compile button.
Rob.
that seems unbelievably obvious now!
^^;; thanks

Oh, the suspense is killing me, what is the flashlight material being used for?
Anyway, I had a similar problem once and what fixed it was changing the env_projectedtexture, you must have marked a flag, or had a parameter you didn't notice checked...
And if that doesn't work, you might find what you were looking for here...
Hope it helps.

You can only have 1 env_projected_texture active at a time, or others will force it off (with that message).
Maybe there are other lighting / shadow entities that also cannot be on at the same time.
What entity is the one you've named 'light1'?
Rob.
I don't name normal lights.

Ah ha, ok then that means you have 2 env_projectedtexture in your map.
And you have them both set to 'enabled'. But only 1 can be enabled at a time, so the first one is automatically turned off by the engine when the 2nd one tries to get enabled at startup.
Are they both in view at the same time?
If so, you will have to pick 1 to have and remove the other, or if you follow the link Mr P Kiwi gave you it does describe methods of how to overcome this, but I've not tried them.
If they are in different places on your map, and they are not visible at the same time, then place triggers to turn one off and the other on when you get closer to it.
Rob.
All you can do then, is use triggers to turn them off, when you get out of sight of them, so only 1 is ever enabled at a time.
Rob.
