Thanks for the suggestions I’ll take a look at them this evening. I may have to get some help on the volume question. Graphics update will obviously be easier :-).
Best Regards,

Yeah, you are right. I think @randr may have done something when he posted the more reasonably sized version. When I look at my uploads it shows Firepower2v1.1.zip
I’ve included it here so you don’t have to wait for it to get fixed.
Thanks,

@Thalamus – I think I fixed that in v1.1. I noticed it didn’t seem to work right. There was a primitive with collidible turned on that shouldn’t have been and the Z scale was messed up. I didn’t think this could affect the ball but it apprently does. Please let me know if the v1.1 update doesn’t fix it for you.
Thanks!

Ok…I’ve really been struggling for no reason with this. I see what you mean about gray scale and additive blend… fade it in and out with the script and it just works :). Use the gray sale to “feather” the edges (so to speak) and, voila, you have a “lamp” on a vertical wall.
Thanks for pointing me in this direction

You know I don’t think I’ve ever used a Flasher object. Maybe I should try it before I ask silly questions

I guess I’ll have to do some experimenting. Not being a true “graphics” guy, I’m not certain what you mean by additive mixing. I know that is an option when I apply effects and such in PS or AI but I’ve never truely known what that means.
Thanks for contributing to this topic. Hopefully I will be able to as well…eventually

I thought I’d toss this topic out there because I’d like to know how other people handle this. I’ve seen alpha ramps used and I know about using primitives for bulbs turned sideways. Since the halos around VPX lamp objects are flat and horizontal it seems there should be a way to do this vertically e.g. Creature lights on MB.
Thoughts?

v1.1 takes care of the flipper length. I always forget about setting the physical height of walls like you mentioned. Thanks for catching that. I’ll add it to 1.1 before I repost it.
thanks again,

Had a little issue with the update this AM. Text and version descriptions updated but the file didn’t quite make it. I’ll have to fix it this afternoon. The current download link does not have the v1.1 update.
Sorry for the confusion.

I’m about to pull my hair out with what would seem to be a simple subject so I’ll put out there to see if anyone has a good way to do what I’m trying to do.
I’m working on a VPX version of Firepower II. Simple enough but it has some oddly shaped gates i.e. long brackets with wires that form the gate only half the length of the bracket. In VPX (or…[Read more]
