what's the light X, Y, and Z value for ex-coop?

[esponjaex-coop]

this has been reposted from a Reddit post i made so don't say that i stole the question from somewhere. My name in Reddit also doesn't include "esponja" in the original name (no nickname included)

so i was doing a mod that makes mario have his old shading
if you don't know what type of shading its this one, but i tried inserting the light X, Y, and Z values and when i test it in-game, i am greeted with a "Old Shading" has script errors.

the code:
function shading(m)

m.marioBodyState.light_X = 0

m.marioBodyState.light_Y = 0

m.marioBodyState.light_Z = 127

end

Rather frankly, all the reddit sm64 communities I know of- even the big ones- are kiiiinda dead.
As such, I wouldn't worry much.
Pretty positive you'd need to configure the stuff in blender, and make a [CS] pack.
Not unlike the last post of yours I commented on.
As always, though, I could very much be wrong.

No you can do this, this code simply isn't correct. Firstly, be sure you're hooking the shading function via hook_event(HOOK_MARIO_UPDATE, shading). Next, the light_X variable and y and z are all named wrong, it's lightX, lightY, and lightZ, no underscore. Once that's done that code should work fine.

Really???
Okay I might use that myself now thank you

it's lightX, lightY, and lightZ, no underscore. Once that's done that code should work fine.

it still bringing me an error even without any underscore

What's the error, and what does your code look like?

 

[esponjaex-coop]

What's the error, and what does your code look like?

the error says "Invalid key 'lightY"

code with the hook i forgot to put:
function shading(m)
m.marioBodyState.lightX = 0
m.marioBodyState.lightY = 0
m.marioBodyState.lightZ = 127
end

Wait I'm stupid lol. It's lightR, lightG, and lightB, for red green and blue.

that made the shading be like this:

I'm sorry, I just looked at the image, I believe you're editing the wrong variable. What you're wanting to change is the light direction. That can be done with set_lighting_dir, this passes in an index and a value. The index 0 is X, the index 1 is Y, and the index 2 is Z. Then simply set the number to be the light direction. Sorry about that!

does it need to be something like m.marioBodyState.set_lightnin_dir = 0 or smth else

 

[EmeraldLockdown]

It's just a function, so example code would be

function shading(m)
    set_lighting_dir(0, 0)
    set_lighting_dir(1, 0)
    set_lighting_dir(2, 127)
end

You can tweak the variables to get the desired effect.

it worked except for a teeny tiny problem:

yes i used anim tester to pose Mario like that
edit: for inside areas that will be REALLY useful tho

 

[EmeraldLockdown]

Pretty unsure on how to do it then.. sorry about that :/

 

[esponjaex-coop]

its ok

The values you put into set_lighting_dir are preferably supposed to range between -1 and 1.
