Anybody know where i could find a tutorial or a sample file to mess around with? It's something i've often wondered how to do really but years ago there wasn't that much to read up on or a tutorial.

I have so many ideas that would need to utilize this but i can't seem to find any tutorials on the subject really. I'm talking about the sort of Covenant glowing symbols. I'd like to be able to create my own or use the same method to make similar effects.

Thanks ^.^

You are either talking about alpha decals ( search for tutorial by johnomatic)
Or you are talking about using the green chanel of a multipurpose map to achieve "glow"

I guess i'm talking about the second one. I'd like for it to actually look like a light source if you know what i mean?

That is done with the green channel in the multipurpose map.
There is a "self illumination" section of a shader_model, the flashing/sliding adjustments are done there.

I have no idea what you mean why multi-map.
