I saw a thread before, about Lights being suggested, and it didn't turn out too well.
I wanna give it a go.
-----
The Lights would be an object, similiar in use to the Sparkles object.
You could have more than one in a Brick at a time.
Light Properties Ideas--
Colour; Just like the Colour for Sparkles. Should use RGB.
Direction; Should have the basic 6 directions, plus Omnidirectional.
Length; The distance the Light can be projected at.
Width; The width of the Light, Spotlights are rather Narrow (example).
Style;
Foggy - like a Spotlight, resembles the current Straw Hat Mesh Lights.
Ambient - No 'Light Fog', just the Light you can see reflecting off surfaces.
Flash Speed; 0 would mean no blinking. 1 would mean Strobe. Should have a warning for places which contain Strobe Lighting, so anybody who's Epileptic could turn it off prior to entering.
Corona; Boolean. Toggles the Corona of the Light, the Sprite that always faces the Camera.
Prompt Example--
Warning! This place contains Strobe Lighting.
Do you wish to see this?
(Yes) (No)
-----
Some Examples of how these would work;
---------- Minigun Spitfire
Colour; Bright Yellow
Direction; Forward
Length; 3 Studs
Width; 180 Degrees
Style; Foggy
Flash Speed; 1
Corona; True
---------- Minigun Spitfire
---------- Alarm
Colour; Bright Red
Direction; OmniDirectional
Length; 30 Studs
Width; 360 Degrees
Style; Ambient
Flash Speed; 0.5
Corona; True
---------- Alarm
---------- Searchlight
Colour; Really White
Direction; Forward
Length; 200 Studs
Width; 35 Degrees
Style; Foggy
Flash Speed; 0
Corona; False
---------- Searchlight
---------- Flame
Colour; Yellow/Red/Orange (Script to cycle through)
Direction; OmniDirectional
Length; 15 Studs
Width; 360 Degrees
Style; Ambient
Flash Speed; 0/1(Script to Randomise this regularly)
Corona; True
---------- Flame
So, what do you think?

I like the idea, it will be a great game aspect to tinker with. |

Some feedback about the actual properties I'm suggesting would be helpful. |

Yeah, that would be cool.
Most of the lights made on Roblox at the moment don't really work as lights there just a bright brick.
But if we used this we could make awesome games or maps.
Like hide and seek, there could be a dark room where you can't see a thing but you get a torch with shines on the area which it is pointing at.
Or on a war map, it could be a night scene and there are helicopters which have spotlights to spot enemys.
Good idea mag=P |

Are any of the Dev's going to comment on this? |

It's a good idea but I don't think we should have the strobe thing because I think it will get over-used by noobs and become extremely annoying. |

Yeah, I think so too. |
|
|
it would be cool but this idea is used on the flashlight and the ROBLOx mods are trying to make it in different things |
|
|
Lights would be cool, I want to see those.
And sparkles should have too a Direction to be 'launched' at, because I would like to make Snowflakes with sparkles. |

The Flashlight?
You mean the Straw Hat Light Mesh or an actual Flashlight? |
|
|
Lights in general would be cool.
With sparkles I mean I could make a line of sparkles, or even a ring of sparkles without using loads of bricks. |

Good enough to be made by the Admins?
:o |

:D
I think Admins or Mods take a look at "Popular" Threads (Threads which have been viewed 50+ Times).
Maybe they'll take a look at this and consider it? |

Not sure..
Sorry for the Double Post. |

Bump.
Started to sink a bit. |

This was my idea but you made it a little too complex |
|
|
Good idea, exept for the strobe thing. A teleport which releses a one second flash of light would be cool. |

But you forgot that light should pass through transparent objects and bounce off reflective objects
My version that all lights were continous and the LightIntensity is a brick property like transparency |

It's as complex as it should be. I love the idea. This would be great for dace rooms and just all around places. You should also be able to change the transparency of the light. |

Passing through transparent objects and bouncing of shiny is too complex. Could cause a lot of lag. But it would be cool. . . |
