iWolf Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Should I make the lightbar already on the car?And then add lights to it? Or something elseThanks in advanced,iWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't really get what you mean. I think you make the lightbar part of the model and then add lighst to it in the editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmC-Unit Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 If you wan't to keep some neurons healthy Connect lightbar to moddel and done lights on it (not like separated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [SAP]Francis Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 You can make the car a model and a lightbar a model. Then in the prototype, add the lightbar to the model as a child. Meaning you can have thousands of lightbar models with just one Crown Vic model. All you need is more prototypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ami89E1234 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 So How Do I Make It Blue Transparent? By Using The UV-Mapping?To make the lightbar transparent, you have to model the 'insides' of the lightbar first. Then, when making the skin, I'm guessing you'll have to set the transparency level lower than 100% opaque. Then UVMap and add ingame.

Stan Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 No, transparency is defined by the Alpha layer of the .dds file 3 colors are used: Black, Grey and WhiteBlack = NadaWhite = reflectionGrey = Transparent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWolf Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well, I want to download one of Rihis's wonderful lightbars.But I need to change it to blue, how would I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looks crappy. Making the skin still counts for making the .dds. I only UVMap once the .dds is made. Lol what the colors mean makes no sense lol.

Stan Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Strange definition of what you said..."when making the skin, I'm guessing you'll have to set the transparency level lower than 100% opaque. "Did you mention anything about an alpha layers and 3 colors being used in it and the function of those 3 colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 MikeyPI once made a transparant lightbar. You can find it on the LASD Van in the Los Angeles mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
