Sparkle Kitti Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 How it light level distance measured? If I have a torch on top of a single raised block, What's the light level on the ground around the block? I can see it being somewhere from 1-3 depending on how it's counted.
DrEngine Posted November 13, 2020 Report Posted November 13, 2020 I'd like to know too... How the light level drops with distance from light source.
Sukotto82 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Posted November 17, 2020 this is a good question as I have a lantern 15+ blocks above ground and it still lights the ground below it up but doesn't seem to cover the same distance horizontally.
Stroam Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Each source of light has a value. That value decreases by one for each block traveled. The blocks must share a side.
Nashty Posted February 26, 2022 Report Posted February 26, 2022 Thank you Stroam! May I reiterate, to clarify my understanding, and get a response? if I place an unlined lantern(18) two blocks above the ground, attached to the ceiling...the ground block directly below would be 16? And the 4 cardinal ground blocks surrounding it would all be 15? Would the diagonal blocks be 14 then? Is there a way to tell this, or would I need a mod to do so? ie: |10|11|12|13|12|11|10| |11|12|13|14|13|12|11| |12|13|14|15|14|13|12| |13|14|15|16|15|14|13| |12|13|14|15|14|13|12| |11|12|13|14|13|12|11| |10|11|12|13|12|11|10|
Streetwind Posted February 27, 2022 Report Posted February 27, 2022 Welcome to the forums! I am not Stroam, but I'm 99% sure that you've described it correctly. It's not very visible in Vintage Story, where the steps between light levels are very fine and there are shaders that smooth out the lighting. But in other block voxel games that use similar lighting models (and many do), the behavior is much more visible. 1
