Question regarding backup and brake lights

[eagledude4 3]

selectionBrakeLights="brzdove svetlo";
selectionBackLights="zadni svetlo";

How are these effects actually applied, and what's required in the model.cfg?

put them just in cfg sections (the place where you set "camo01" to have camo, the place you put "zbytek" or "telo" to have damage effect)

nothing more, selection in visual lod, puting them into sections , no need in skeleton, no need in cfganimations,

i released in my topic some MLODs, take a look inside at model.cfg for cars

Just to clarify your thread title, it's not a backup/reverse light, there are rear red lights for when the headlights are on, and rear red lights that are used to indicate braking.

@Vilas: Thanks vilas, but I already have an mlod reference I'm using.

@Messiah: How do I do reverse lights then, is it possible (without using a keydown script )

probably it would require some complicated scripting connceted with car movement backwards or back arrow in keyboard,

there is no rear gear light in Arma engine like it was not present in OFP,

rear gear light, turn left or turn right lights are in VBS, in OFP, Arma1, Arma2 you have lights (indicating position, reflectors) and breaking rear light , nothing more

You can script it and use the hide animation to turn a reverse light on and off when the vehicle in question has a negative speed, although the script has to loop to continually check the vehicle's speed, so it's not resource friendlly.

[Sealife 22]

use the source you use for registering spped animation in the model.cfg as a source for a hide animation.

you may get away with Hide and mirror source for a light or bright white texture to show/ hide when vehicle is at negative speed , this wouldnt require a script.

@Vilas: Damn, I was hoping there was a function in the engine that could be used in the config.

@Thromp: Something like this?

code:

class ReverseLights {
type ="hide";
source="speed";
selection="zadni svetlo";
hideValue = 1;
};

What other values are required?
