It's just easy calculus A quick example taken from an old version of the pickup: (I'm currently on my old laptop, I should be learning some more difficult Calculus by now...) ["lowhighbeam" , "SPOTLIGHT" , "fa2rr", "fa2r", "fa1rr", {"x":180, "y":0, "z":30} , {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0} , {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, 0, 0, 0, 1, {"baseTranslation":{"x":0.0, "y":0.5, "z":-0.02},"deformGroup":"pickup_signal_R_break"}], the position is as follows; "fa2rr" is the reference node, fa2r is the x direction, fa1rr the y direction. The values in {"baseTranslation"; a value of 0 means the spotlight is located at the reference node, a value of 1 it is located at the x or respectively y node. A negative or a value larger than 1 is also possible, it just moves along the line. {"x":0.0, "y":0.5, "z":-0.02} means that the spotlight is x wise at fa2rr, y-wise precisely in between fa2rr and fa1rr, z wise just out of the xy plane. {"x":180, "y":0, "z":30} means that the spotlight rotated 180 degrees along the x axis (fa2rr-fa2r), rotating the entire reference frame with it. (it rotates in the x-y-z order) There's no rotation along the y axis (fa2rr-fa1rr) but there's rotation along the z axis, which is the axis perpendicular to both the x and y axis. I usually put the vehicle in-game, show the beams and nodes, guess where the spotlight between the nodes should be and finetune it afterwards. If it's desirable I can make an explanation/how-to with fancy drawings etc in the wiki, but not before this weekend and probably some time later as I'm currently having exams.
Carrying A Crash-landed Chopper To The Warehouse, had to use the crash cart to push it onto the trailer.
Thanks for giving us such great mods! keep up with the great work ARB! Let's hope your D55 becomes a reality. Also, which mod will it go to? the D-series mod?
East Coast, July 17th, 1978. Every teenager has a Gavril, why should you be punished for driving Grandad's old Bruckell when you can have a Gavril H15 Vanster Luxury Sport for just 7,995 Dollars?
some more work on this I probably need to call this scenario something better than "Bolide Classic." Also, ignore the creation date.
I'm a simple man. I was never a big math nut. The flare placement as it is is not that big of a problem, it is always do-able, but just enough to be a pain in the ass. I already nailed them on a few projects, but I always forget howto afterwards and have to trial&error my way through it again
