Lighter and Candle (HandProp)

Overview

With the Lighter and Candle (HandProp) package, players can pick up the lighter and press I to inspect it or T to toggle the flame. When interacting with the candle while holding a lit lighter, the candle lights up with a glowing effect.

This package includes three key components: the Lighter smart Asset (a handheld flame source), the Candle smart Asset (a stationary light source), and an empty Light Logic Object that manages interaction events.

Package hierarchy

• Lighter smart asset: Handles the handheld flame and illumination.
• Candle smart asset: Represents the candle model and its light emission.
• Light Logic object: Contains an event trigger configured as follows:
  • Trigger: On candle interaction.
  • Condition: If the lighter is lit.
  • Action: Light the candle and enable glow.

Example

To customize the candle with a cigar model while keeping only the flame effect (no glow):

1. Add the Lighter and Candle (HandProp) package to your scene (found under Packages > Horror Game > Assets).

2. Import or locate a cigar model in Asset Library and add it to the scene.

3. Select the Candle smart asset, then go to Behavior > Model List and replace the candle model with the cigar model.

4. Adjust the candlelight:

• Open Candle > [Pivot] Candle > [Pivot] Candle fire.

• Disable Point Light that emits the surrounding glow.

• Adjust the vfx_candle_fire position to align the flame effect with the cigar cap.

  

5. Enter Play Mode and verify:

• You can pick up the lighter, press I to inspect, and T to light it.

• You can interact with the cigar model by pressing E while holding the lit lighter to light it.

  

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Point Light component is properly enabled or disabled depending on whether you want the glow effect.
• Verify the event trigger on the Light Logic object is correctly set to detect candle interaction and lighter state.
• Confirm your models are correctly assigned in the asset selectors and that the flame effect is aligned visually.
