I'm trying to see if it is possible to create a searchlight (sort of like the ones on the GTA police helicopters). Problem is, I don't know how to start. Anyone want to help?

try an AI gunner with a weapon that fires no projectile, but the firing effect is a searchlight. I wouldn't know how to get it to search back and forth, and not just track the player, though.

add a set with a turret or something to a vehicle f your choice and make the weapons projectile contrail a light but remove damage effects. or something... just a suggestion though

Or just attach modified headlight tags to be brighter and larger, then link a marker to a moving frame.

or use object_attach to attach an animated scenery spotlight to the vehicle.

Alright, this is pretty good. I modified the Warthog headlights, and now I'm going to test them using the Covenant Dropship's turret to "fire" the searchlight out for testing.

I modified the Warthog headlights, and now I'm going to test them using the Covenant Dropship's turret to "fire" the searchlight out for testing. You could have an AI that Aims the Gun around. It could aim at the player, and alert the Enemy. I think I shall use this in my custom SP I am making. Thanks for The idea, it is really cool actually. |
