How to make headlight parts (glow in the evening and night)
Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2019 11:11 pm
Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I was wondering if it's possible to make headlight parts (model with texture) that appear on in the evening and at night. I know you can make reverse light parts, tail light parts and brake lights that way... but what about headlights?
I tried naming parts as "HLIGHT" but they aren't visible in the game. And those other headlight#_h dummy parts create the glow alright but you can't give them any visible shape with a texture, right?
An alternative way I thought was making the part have textures with the suffix "_ni" so it appears at night. But it wouldn't appear in the evening that way, unlike the headlight glows.
Another alternative way is to make the headlights as part of the tail lights... but if I do this the headlights will glow brighter when I hit the brakes and that's kind of silly (though not entirely bad, but I'd rather have a different way).
So is there a way to make a lights part with a texture and shape of my choosing and make it appear both in the evening and at night? Otherwise, is there an "evening" suffix for textures?
Also, is it possible to have more than just 2 headlight#_h glows?
Thanks in advance!!
