I wonder if anyone can help me out with this, I have just started to make a few custom candles, (well one really) using OrangeMittens great candle cluster with flames that can be repositioned. The problem is that they don’t know they are candles, I am sure that before Ecolife these candles cast light an behaved as candles because I used them everywhere in my game, but now they are dark and need a point light added to make them throw light. But the saddest thing is they have no 'inner glow' I have tried with vertex paint to get that warm inner glow when lit but it doesn’t work they stay solid.
So I have an ask, and it's a big one, orangemittens is there any chance you could make these again but using the base game trio of candles, A Story of Three Candles? I know there wasn’t any base game candles when you made your group of candles and this object seems to be the obvious template as it has the inner 'candle secret'.
If not could someone please tell me how candle flames are added, how do the candles know they are candles? I have looked through so many tuning files of candles and I must have a blind spot as I am none the wiser. I have tried using the trio candles deleting the fx and readding the flames using MiniMonsters tut, the flames are there but so are the 3 original ones, floating above my custom candle, laughing at me Why does S4S not show the position of candle flames when we clone them? Are they very different from other fx like the fish in the aquariums? I really would like to understand this a bit more and discover if I am missing something that everyone else knows.
