It's a UT tutorial, but the concepts are the same for UT2003/4. Basically what you want to get out of it is good control of brightness and saturation, the concepts of local and global light, and using three or more lights per source in some situations.

I cannot get the various light types(pulse, etc) to work. I can choose tehm and it loks like its working in the editor but when I actually play the level, its still steady. Any ideas?
Thx

Animated light types do not work in game
Use projectors or emitters or special materials on sheets

Doh! use a trigger light!
Hourences should look into things a little deeper, if you add a trigger light (found under light in the actor browser) and set it to initially on (under trigger light properties) you can set it to strobe or whatever and it shows in game. If it doesnt work get back to me and Ill have another look for you, just remember that the internet has solutions to most unreal probs and dont believe every thing you read on a forum!

Im sure you look -a lot- deeper in to things as I man
Your method works too, my 3 methods work as well, whatever works for the guy. All the methods have drawbacks and positive things.
Projectors are fastest

Thanks for the input it looks great. I tried to match the light pulse to that one room in E1M5 of Doom.
He has more maps in the retail release of UT2004 than you too.Hourences said:Im sure you look -a lot- deeper in to things as I man
