Graphic errors on the FT

[KCJones]

Yep it is infront of the model And I'm not insulted by the suggestion

Its the lua scripting I am interested in. To see if and how you get it to work!!!

Rgr! I shall go and mangle some textures into submission & see how it goes.

For the time being, and since you've actually created a lit version, would it be possible to just make it be turned on all the time? Almost every road that used the double lights, the lower was the primary. I'd switch the color swatch on the top light to the red glow, and it would look fine and be switchable.

[KCJones]

If you download the shape linked above it should do that. Remeber though it is designed for my F7 so uses the F7 textures. As the shape is public you can upload it with your repaints. AND you can edit the shape file to change the textures for the other Fs and E. Remember to put a light01 texture file in the fittings\textures folder BEFORE you change it to red.

Probably the quickest way to do that would be to make a copy of the light02 file in the engine/textures folder and rename it as light01, perhaps renaming the original light01 as xxlight01 first so as not to lose it!!!!!

Lights off.... lights on.

Code: Select all

function OnControlValueChange ( name, index, value )

   if Call( "*:ControlExists", name, index ) then
      if name == "Startup" then
         if ( Call( "GetIsEngineWithKey" ) == 1 ) then
            Call( "SendConsistMessage", START_ID, value, 0 )
            Call( "SendConsistMessage", START_ID, value, 1 )
         end
      end
      
      if name == "Headlights" then
         if value == 1 then
            Call( "TestHeadlight:ActivateNode", "lhlglow",  1 )
         else
            Call( "TestHeadlight:ActivateNode", "lhlglow",  0 )
         end
      end

      
      Call( "*:SetControlValue", name, index, value );
   end
end


Not quite right because US stuff seems to have forward lights on even when Headlights is 2, but that's trivial to change. ( change "if value == 1" to "if value > 0" ).

Thanks, and from what Kali posted, it looks like you may have your solution.

[KCJones]

At last we are getting there. (With a lot of help from our friends!!!)

I will go through each of the Fs and the E7 and produce an update pack for the lit lower headlight. Including the new lua files, shape files textures and bin files. I will also include the scripting for the child entry in the engine bin file.

This is sweet. Thanks to everyone who helped on this.

Shout if you need any more help, I like fiddling under the bonnet like that.

I like fiddling under the bonnet like that.

Y'all from over yonder sure talk funny.

I'm kidding of course. All of you guys that can do all this great work, you have my respect (and quite a few of my $$$$) I just drive 'em, y'all create 'em. I think we'll get along.

Just pretend it's wearing a large hat!
