helljumper51 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ok so I know it has been discussed before, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to do it. I was thinking of creating the actual rotator as a child object and then in a script tell it to rotate around an axis(y axis I would assume) Anyone have any ideas if it would work?

Dyson Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Would be so much effort for very little reward in game. Plus I don't know how it'd hold up while you were driving. Would suggest using lighting techniques to simulate rotary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawk504 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Making an lightbar + animating it is also a option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sven Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Making an lightbar + animating it is also a option.No it is not. The light will shine trough the lightbar as the can shine trough a vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawk504 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 No it is not. The light will shine trough the lightbar as the can shine trough a vehicle.So if it go trough a model, it also should shine trough the child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rettungstier Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 the next problem is that i don't think the light would spin with the rotating part. as long as they are not model related they don't seem to move anywhere!i use a special lighting technique to make rotaries. it's seems to be a lot of work at first but once you got it you can make pretty good looking rotaries...... mmmmhhh ... feels like it's stuff for a tutorial ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkboy714 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Why do all that work and add extra processing burdens to your mod when you can do a perfectly nice and realistic rotary effect with the light editor? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
