How to add lights to a prop?

Well I noticed that there are variables in the light effects to say which axis to rotate and at what speed. I was able to edit them in ModTools, and the spotlight started animating round and round... looking just like a lighthouse or movie searchlight. If I knew how to make a quick .gif of it, I would have, cause it was really cool looking.

Right, but those values can not be saved, so you would need an additional mod that creates a new light effect.

Released a new asset, which is a collaboration with vasimr22 (who has been making some great airport assets). It's a runway threshold lights prop. Originally we wanted to do some green lights, but 

Aircraft Light Right
	Type: Spot
	Intensity: 1
	Blink Type: None
	Base Color: A0FFA0

 

from the list on github didn't work.

 

In fact, many of the light types didn't work. Is there a special trick to get the vehicle light effects to work on a prop?

Any ideas, anyone? green light effects on props?

You can find all available effects (also sound effects) in the EffectCollection in the ModTools scene explorer.

This is a dummy script for SvenBerlin to add 5 lights to a prop. The light positions and directions need to be changed to suit his model.

Hi. Is there any way to change color of light effect on standart lamp prop? I need left lamp to be yellow like right lamp. I tried to play with scripts from previous posts but they seem to work for imported assets, not existing.

[AmiPolizeiFunk 446]

I'm surprised that the script won't work on a pre-existing game asset. Maybe post your script here so we can check it for bugs?

 

Another option would be to export the lamp model with mod-tools and re-import it. Have you tried that?

[pivnoi_valera 0]

Script is exatly the same like in first post exept I changed light effect to "Street Light Medium Road".
I attached error message which appears after running script.

BTW is there any way to find and change RGB values for light effect in scene explorer? 

I cannot export this lamp. When I do this it tells me that mesh is not readable. After export I get only light but not lamp itself.
 

[AmiPolizeiFunk 446]

the first post is for 2 light effects, and I think you only want one. Please copy your script here so we can check it. It may be as simple as a syntax error.

[pivnoi_valera 0]

There is a code:

 

var lightEffect1 = EffectCollection.FindEffect("Street Light Medium Road") as LightEffect;

var pos1 = new Vector3(0f,10f,-1f);

var dir1 = new Vector3(0f,1f,0f);

var propEffect1 = new PropInfo.Effect {m_effect = lightEffect1, m_position = pos1, m_direction = dir1 };

var asset = ToolsModifierControl.toolController.m_editPrefabInfo as PropInfo; asset.m_effects = new PropInfo.Effect[] { propEffect1 }; asset.m_hasEffects = true;

 

[AmiPolizeiFunk 446]

Hmmm how do you even get that lamp into the editor? There's no "default" when you try to create a new asset with the streetlamp template.

[pivnoi_valera 0]

Finally I solved the problem. Just downloaded similar lamp from workshop and for this one script worked perfectly. Thanks for your help. Now my streets have right vibe 

[AmiPolizeiFunk 446]

Yay! workshop ftw

[Shannanigan O'Crabby 41]

I decided to wade into custom light creation... following the main script (aside from removing the second variation, changing the numeric values).
The location works fine but the direction has gone literally sideways!

I checked the pre-fab setting for my light in Modtools, for some reason its not saving the direction info from the script.
Its setting everything to 0. Any idea why that might be happening?

Here is my script... When I put the center distance position on the right, it doesn't line up with the original location of the street light glow.
I was worried that the light would be backward on the street if I turned my mesh direction in Blender, so I used the "Medium Street Light" as a reference.
Maybe thats where I'm going wrong?
 

var lightEffect1 = EffectCollection.FindEffect("Street Light Medium Road") as LightEffect;

var pos1 = new Vector3(3.4f,10.5f,0f); 

var dir1 = new Vector3(0f,-1f,0f);


var propEffect1 = new PropInfo.Effect {m_effect = lightEffect1, m_position = pos1 };

Full disclosure ... I am not using a local version of ModTools, its the one attached to the Workshop.
I tried... but when I created a copy and put it in the my local "Mod" asset folder... its not showing up in the content manager.
I'm assuming there is a step missing from the process that I don't know... *shrug*

[AmiPolizeiFunk 446]

as for modtools did you enable it again when you run the game in -noworkshop mode? It needs to be enabled separately for each mode.

 

As for your script, are you missing the very important last lines?

 

// Apply effects to prop
var asset = ToolsModifierControl.toolController.m_editPrefabInfo as PropInfo;
asset.m_effects = new PropInfo.Effect[] { propEffect1, propEffect2};
asset.m_hasEffects = true;

for one light it would just be

 

// Apply effects to prop
var asset = ToolsModifierControl.toolController.m_editPrefabInfo as PropInfo;
asset.m_effects = new PropInfo.Effect[] { propEffect1 };
asset.m_hasEffects = true;

Yeah I just missed pasting it. But I figured it out... I was somehow missing the direction info in the "Propeffect1" line of code. DUR!


But I still don't know how to start the game in -noworkshop mode... I'm still too Noob I guess. LOL!

I find that if I don't use exact terminology when searching info on this game I get nothing.
I don't ask questions before googling first... but thanks for the help!

I couldn't do anything in this game w/o -noworkshop mode. Tell us exactly how far you get and maybe we can help you get it working. It's very very important imo.

Thanks! I got it figured out... and now I have way too many lamps. I gotta fiddle with the glow placement... but this is awesome.

Thanks to everybody who knows how to do this coding business and sharing it with us mere mortals.

Is it possible to add lights to a Vehicle with this method?

[DaveRodda 0]

Hello....Can you mod the number of lights and type of lights in the mod tools? I did another test w the Wall-Mounted Floodlight template, and sure enough, it puts one light at 0,0,0. Now I just need to figure out how to position it and duplicate it? Is all of this possible w ModTools?

You can create a script that adds multiple light effects at once. For example, this one adds 5 light effects (or just scroll up a bit):

Take a close look at every line. The pattern is pretty simple.

You can change the pos vectors to change the position of the effects, and the dir vectors to change the direction.

[Badi_Dea 476]

Just an FYI, you don't need a script to add effects (including lights) to a prop anymore after Industries. Just unroll Effects and click Add New
