Hey mindcat,
I wouldn't suggest making directional lights left, directional lights right, and directional lights stop. In a forum, a certain member told me that Emergency 4 wasn't meant to handle scripts like that. It doesn't mean you can't make a script like that, it just means that more crashes can happen. I also thought about this idea but the member told me it could cause more lag or crashes. STILL I SUPPORT YOU FULLY NO MATTER WHAT. I SUPPORT YOU IN DOING IT AND PROVE THAT EMERGENCY 4 CAN HANDLE IT. If you ever need help with anything, just tell me and I will help you. Good luck with everything -Corsair

It is more a idea, just for the future. Right now i focuse on skin+uv-map+lights after that 3D-Model and then script

[Corsair]

No, I understand I just wanted to give you the heads up.
Heres what the member said
"Its pointless in Em4. Adds too much effort making so many lights. Also means more lag. More importantly, vehicles in Em4 can only be redirected backwards, not left, right or around.

This feature IMO is just one for show and doesnt make a mod better."

[Mindcat]

yeah, it is not needed really. But i want to also get into that scripting. But first i want to learn how to 3D-Model from scratch. My project there is a 2009 Pierce Quantum

That member would be me, and that statement remains true and shall remain true forever.

 

But its your choice if you want 200 redirectional lights.

[Mindcat]

Still need to learn alot in uv-mapping. But i think its okay for first try

Once again. Very very nice work. That is impressive for a first try and definitely worth praise and honor from me.

No i don´t want that:D Im more for a true improvement for the gameplay experience in the mod but as i currently don´t know much of scripting i more want to focus on 3D-Model and uv-mapping

Hello there, certain member. It would just be in total, 24 lights for directional lights left and right. I know how to do it this way

But I only know how to do it without the strobe. I know how to make the directional lights go left or right but ONLY WITHOUT THE STROBES AS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO.

I think (not sure tho) that the amount of the lights would also have something to do with the scripting structure and how the script would work (maybe?) Also amount changes with the size of the actual light bar which it is used on and how detailed it should be. 

[Corsair]

I never knew that the scripting structure had to do something with the amount of lights!

[Mindcat]

i just guess haha i don´t know it either:DD

[itchboy]

The game is hardcoded to make the vehicles redirect LEFT to the opposite side of their paths. Ther is no way to change that. ERS Berlin mod has a "redirect around" command, but it requires a mission script for it to be achieved. And mission scripting is the hardest of the hard, that only 3 people have done it so far. Hoppah, bma, and me

delete

[Corsair]

LOL! Well then, its your choice to do it Mindcat

[Mindcat]

Just wrote something stupid there and wanted it to delete it. If itchboy says that this is difficult then im going to trust him and don´t even try to do it. I focus on these things im learning right now which would be 3D-Model and uv-mapping. Thanks itchboy for clearing that up

[Corsair]

Yeah, well you can put an interior light in a car and make it show a left arrow with the lights, thats what i did. Remember itchboy!

 

How can you take out the sparks that the flare makes?

 

Hey Mindcat look at my signature!

But the lights do nothing to the civilian cars. Its just for show and in my opinion, a waste of time, coronas, and game's FPS.

[Corsair]

Yeah but at least he has some lights to simulate the lights from the real world. Yeah EM4 wasn't meant to be realistic but at least he has something to show
