Problem solved?

The mover won't be black if you set BrushRaytraceKey to 0, or bDynamicLightMover to true.

 

[Hourences]

it can still be black if you do that

 

[Luggage]

um, why?

my brush raytracekey i = to '0' and it is a bDynamicLightMover = true.

and still getting a pitch black shadow?

THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE ANSWER!!!!!

No, you can set key 2 off the map, then set World Raytrace to 2, and the mover won't actually go past keyframe 1 as long as properties->NumKeys is set to 2.
The mover only uses the number of keyframes as there are set under NumKeys so if you set key 2 off the map, it will raytrace for that position even though the mover will never go there.

There's a slight possibility that the mover might be black, I'm not sure. If this happens, set Key2 to be in a room seperate from the rest of the map where you still can't see it, and put lights in that room so that the mover get's lit.
I think the mover raytracing is done by the BrushRaytrace field, but just in case...

btw, the mover isn't black because BrushRaytrace = 0 (0 being a keyframe that is in a lit up room inside my level)
WorldRaytrace sets up the lighting on the world that the mover affects, thus setting up a keyframe outside the level and making the worldraytrace = that keyframe (not brushraytrace) works.
The engine then won't allow that mover to make shadows (caused by the mover) against the terrain.

It all makes sense now, thankx!
