Hey! I'm making a comeback to make more vehicles for CSL and at the moment I'm doing police vehicle. I've got driving lights positioned and they are working properly but emergency lights I cannot figure how to place them. Coordinates I put in asset editor are all messed ingame, red and blue lights are not in the correct position, is there something I'm missing? Excuse me for not showing screenshot, the vehicle I'm making is for someone who ordered it and I cant show any images yet *:)

How exactly did you set the coordinates?

    I placed the lights to the coordinates where they should be flashing. I had to first place driving light to the spot where lights should flash, since for some reason there were no light indicating in the asset editor where emergency light should be. I then copied coordinates to the light position 2 and 3 which I assume are for emergency lights?

    Emergency lights coordinate system has another pivot point (shifted up) than the main model pivot point. I worked on emergency vehicles long time ago, so I don't know if what  I will say next is true, but should be close to it. Emergency lights pivot point (0,0,0) is on top of the roof in the middle (X-of main pivot; Y-of main pivot; Z - height of the car).  Or it might be on the highest point of the car. I am unsure about it now.

    Typical coordinates are something like: [0.800; 0.100; 0.000]

    BTW, there are various Asset Editor mods that allows you to see a functional emergency light there.

    Ah cool, I managed to get those in correct position but it required quite many tries first *:)

    Thanks, I'll check those mods!
