I’m currently having some issues creating a rotating spotlight that rotates around its y axis. I have a cone that represents the spotlight’s position that rotates the same way and managed to get that part of it working. I just haven’t figured out how to make the spotlight itself rotate. I’m using a Idle() function to handle the updates to the cone and spotlight. Another issue is with the postReDisplay() call in the Idle() function. When its not commented out the cone will spin, however the spotlight will not show up. I’m assuming that’s because the main parts of the spotlight are in the initialization function. I tried to add the direction of the spotlight into the display function under the call to Idle() but didn’t help much at all. Any ideas would help me a lot. I added in some comments around the Idle() function to help show some of the issues I’m having
