Title: Throwing a light source.
Post by: original on February 26, 2014, 06:48:38 PM
I thought there was a way to throw a light source into a darkened room. The throw command does not seem to work as I have no target. Anyone know the syntax, if it is possible?

It exists only in our dreams, sadly.

The best you can do is give a torch to someone you don't like and send them in first.

Pretty much an idea that every player wants...You can find the suggestions on the first GDB in fact.

I've been suggesting this for almost ten years.

Sure it is, sometimes. It'll randomly go out when thrown just like it does when you hold it in a storm.

This is a very good idea. Though, I remember reading once that there might be some code limitations and that is why this has never been implemented? Something in regards to the current source that the game was built with.
