I want to make headlights for my cars. I want them to look like the lights from the Nod spotlights or from the hangy lights. They don't really need to illuminate anything i just want there to be lights on them.

Some of my renegade stuff.

Make a hollow cylender and use a texture that fades off as it goes out further. Ive never made them but this is how you would do it5 im guessing.

How do you make textures fade as they go farther away?

Use a single-pass alpha blend texture and vertex paint black the edge that dims off.

It is possible you could even make the lights turn on and off depending if you were moving or not. To do this you would use the engine flame bones (Like on the orca, when its not moving the flames are shorter than when it is). But when it wasn't moving the head light effect would be inside the vehicle.

Better idea, Use the JFW_visible_occuapant script, the W3D being the headlight mesh and bones. When you enter the vehicle, they will be created. When you exit, they will be destoryed.
