Wig wag problem

[Maxdugen]

Hello, I’ve tried everything possible and I cannot figure out this problem with wig wags



I’ve changed all the light IDs in zmodeler to match right and left, I don’t have any carcols applied to the model, and the els xml file all aux coronas are 0 = disabled.

But for some reason I still get these red “strobe” lights that alternate with each other. In fact, a lot of the vehicles I use are plagued by these. I can’t figure out what’s controlling them. Does anyone have any experience with these? Thanks in advance!

which of above are the "strobe" you are talking about?

I’m talking about the two “dots” on the right and left in the back.

[Oleg]

these are Corona FX and they are configured outside of the model file. somewhere in metadata file.

Oh ok, you don’t know how/where?

[Oleg]

no, but I guess there are some guides on this if your vehicle's metadata is editable.

Try to use that flag FLAG_RECESSED_TAILLIGHT_CORONAS in vehicles.meta because as far as i know you can't actually delete them in sirens/ lights config in carcols.meta. So at least one would appear per light/ siren and with that flag they shouldn't be visible

Thank you I’ll try that!

Unfortunately adding the flag did nothing

So maybe try to move your taillights and brakelights axis a little bit more to the center of car. Coronas probably are making based on axis position

[Oleg]

coronas are actually placed relative to axes position. It might be possible even to move axes of rear tail-lights even to 0,0,0 point, but I think the game will still draw coronas through the body of the vehicle.

[Maxdugen]

How do you move just the axis of an objects?

[Oleg]

if this is a geometry object, toggle "Move axes only" option in "Move" tool's options window.

Is there a way to auto move the axis to object center?
