Vehicle Light Coronas

[Packie M.]

Hi guys, so I got a car that has no taillight coronas. Actually, it seems like it has coronas, but they were placed behind the taillights, inside the trunk, because I can see those coronas from certain angle. It was probably done on purpose to imitate modern LED lights.

I used to mess with other car light coronas before by fixing their placement so I'm kinda familiar with this, so I have imported the car in Zmodeler, found what I was looking for, but surprisingly, instead of a corona, I was actually moving a part of the light. That's weird. Did I just forget how it works and did something wrong? What should I do in this situation? Thanks.

Coronas are bind to some bone/part local axes, but their offset and configuration is inside vehicle's metadata file. This is not in a model file.

However, you can adjust local axes of headlights/taillights in ZModeler without affecting geometry (Modify\Move in "Move axes only" mode). This will have effect on coronas placement in game.
