Vehicle Lights

[Messiah 2]

ok... i have a chasis of a vehicle from one of our former working vehicles which now when in game wont show make the brake lights or the tail lights shine at night shine at night.

now... they work in the day perfectly, but dont shine at night. I've set them to shining in the properties and even put the textures in the addon pbo itself, but still no luck...

i've named the selections correctly (otherwise they wouldnt work properly, which they do) its just they wont shine at night no matter what i try...

Do you have a proper CfgModels section in the config?

Also, I thought I read somewhere that the selection needs to be set to "Always in shadow", although I could be wrong.

good point about the cfgmodels... forgot to check that (lol)

as for the shadow... nope, looking at BIS's open source models, they're all set to shining

Well, I guess I can't argue my point then!

The only suggestion I can make then is to add a CfgModels section, besides that, I have no clue.

when they are set to shining the lights will show up alot brighter at night when they are on

whereas always in shadow will do the exact opposit

Cant remeber here...dont shoot me if i'm wrong. But arent the lights done with hidden selections?

If so they need to use the same class name as the model name afaik.

not hidden selections, but selections...

i checked the model thing... and thought it was the problem as my cfg models was very screwed... but after changing and testing its still fooked...

ok, cheers fella - the p3d name is UKF_WMIK.p3d so i know its not the usual forgetting to use the same names (as the muzzle flash on the weapon works fine, which is normnally the biggest clue)
