Is there anyway to make the hanglight sprite undestroyable? Or otherwise make the light change when it is destroyed?

I can give u an example map of what you will have to do, but you will have to wait and its a bit too complex to explain
- tile 1018

Well, as it was discussed in this thread, all you really have to do is copy/paste the light to a different tile, and you'll have the same thing without any hard-coded behavior that forces it to break. Of course, you can also code it in, and if you want the light to change actors when it's hit, you're going to have to code that as well, but at that going rate you may as well just make an entirely new actor that just switches picnums when hit.

DaNM would be the one to talk to, as he's done this in his DP mod (http://forums.duke4.net/index.php?showtopi...amp;#entry55362)

i was going to post a tutorial but then i got high 
I was playing around with it, unlike my usual DNE lightmodel the hanglight dosnt sit on top of another very well, and they need to be offsetted because they need to be in different sectors because of SE150
You'll see when i post it, its just the DP light effect (extra 4911) needs to start as off and it also needs to be visible at all times, i can stack another 4911 light on top of that with the glow effect, and when you destroy it, that disapeers and leaves the off light to start its flickering effect and the only way to get the light flicker to line up correctly is to make sure its turned off first, ill post up the map i was using in 6 hours, also uses additional def code
you could just conjure the hanglight with prop sprites but they exclude coding so they wont break, but they also stop the flickering (extra 4911) effect.
Ive differed this effect from the one i mentioned earlier because actual sprites are easier to line up and place correctly than prop sprites

done
3 lights, one breakable by fire hydrant, one breakable that starts flashing and one breakable that turns off, ones you shoot at use dp chains so they are a bit hard to hit
if you look at the map you'll see how it works
