BSP Modifiers

The BSP modifier system allows you to switch between different lightmaps and skies on a BSP using HaloScript. It is also how you add the lightmaps required for the directional lightmap shader extension. The tag data for BSP modifiers is at the bottom of the scenario tag.

BSP Modifiers

The base modifier block lets you choose which BSP to modify.

BSP Modifier Block

Field | Type | Usage

  • | - | - bsp index | block index | The BSP index to modify.

Lightmap Sets

A lightmap set is a group of lightmaps to use on a BSP. If any lightmap set's are added for a BSP, the first in the list will be the default set used, and it's values will automatically override the lightmap in the BSP tag. Directional lightmaps require 3 separate lightmaps and your map will not compile without all 3.

To change lightmap sets, use the structure_bsp_set_lightmap_set function.
