Is this map to be played on-line or off-line (vs bots only)?

Ok then; It's quite complicated though...

Make your mover, and set Events->Tag to MyMover.
Now add an Actor->Decoration->Book->BlueBook near the mover.
In the book properties, set Movement->AttachTag to MyMover.
Open the MeshViewer and select the light cone you want.
Click the Book's Display->Mesh boz and click 'Use' to use the lightcone. Set book->Display->drawscale and fatness to size it.
Set book->Collision-> everything starting with b to False.
Position the lightcone book to where required with the first mover key frame0.

You have to use a book instead of a normal lightcone, or the clients in the network won't see it!
