...I have a copy of the example & source file as it was originally
posted to the list, but I've never been able to get it work...haven't
had time to find out why, either :-( Anyway, here's what the inlets
are suppost to be:right inlet: Color (ie. [1 1 1< ) middle inlet: linear attenuation; cone cutoff angle; decay at edges
(ie. [0.1 20 0< ) left inlet: gemstate...kinda weird/messy to have those parameters lumped together, but
then I didn't write it ;-)
Actually I have the same file as well, but it doesn't show any spot-light, even if you exchange the inlet order.
*However*: I now have a working patch, it's attached and was extended to also incorporate the attenuation/cutoff/decay messages. It works with current Gem-CVS, only the debug-cone is slightly wrong of course. It would be nice, if that cone would also display the cutoff-angle btw.
[spot_light] allows for some really nice effects btw, for example if you crank up the colors to "out of range" values like [2 3 0(, then it gives a surreal feel.
