Here you go mate! Sorry it took forever, was doing a few things in Industrial Rim first.

You'll find it attached to this.

1. But in your mods assemblies folder.
2. Go to your light def
3. Change compClass to "<compClass>CompGlowerX</compClass>"
4. Remove all of this
      <li>
        <compClass>CompPowerTrader</compClass>
        <startElectricalFires>true</startElectricalFires>
        <soundPowerOn>PowerOnSmall</soundPowerOn>
        <soundPowerOff>PowerOffSmall</soundPowerOff>
        <basePowerConsumption>0</basePowerConsumption>
      </li>
5. Finished

Thanks, heavily appreciated. Also I had no idea this would have required .dll, good thing I'm getting a book on C#.

Is there anything you'd like me to add to it?

Like, doesn't work during rain if it's outside but if under roof it still works.
Or anything else.

That's a good idea, yeah thanks. I'll be sure to credit you for any help and things you add to it.

change the thing class to " Building_Glower"

Came up with an error, "could not find a type named Building_Glower"

Yeah. Building_Glower doesn't exist, do what I said.

Yeah, already tried changing it to -1 and it basically turned it into a mini generator. Also thanks, I'll credit you for the code when I upload the mod.

Already tried that, all it does is just make it so that it doesn't connect to any power lines and it makes no change to the light. Thanks though, I appreciate your help.

what's in the building base?
what's the error,could you give a small demo mod so i can see what is wrong?
(it isn't the first time the code is right but the file is not ^^)

I just can't find a way to get the light on the torch to turn on without connecting it to a power line. Also nothing comes up with any errors if that helps.

Hi, I'm trying to make a torch for a mod I'm making, what I've done is used the same code from the standing light, changed what was necessary (like texture location etc.) I can make it so that it works without power, but it will only work if it's connected to wire that has power running through it. Can anyone help me?

Also this is my first time making a mod.

Here's the whole code.

Is what I'm trying to change hardcoded?
