QUESTION [CustomEmissive]

[Ternal]

Hey everyone, here i am once again with questions ahahah

I'm pretty ok on mastering lights on AC, but i still have some question and problems that i can't figure out.

It is possible to have multiple [CustomEmissive] object in the same ext_config?

I tried it, but i don't know why, if i add a second one, the first light emissive i made it went off (the illumination still present, but the emissive material it swith off. If i remove the second [CustomEmissive] everything works fine.

For exampe

Start semaphore light, other pitlane semaphore which uses different material names + houses windows + bulb on the pole lamp with a different material name too.

Is possible to have all single materials with a different [CustomEmissive]?? There's a specific way to use them?
Thanks in advance

make sure you also change the material in question for second customEmissive:

[CustomEmissive]
MATERIALS = mat1
...

[CustomEmissive]
MATERIALS = mat2
...

Already done man, but is not working :-/

This is how i made it:

But no luck, when i add a second [CustomEmissive] the first one shuts off :-/

 

[fughettaboutit]

ahha good you posted this, you have two times [MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_0]

just use [MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...]
everywhere

 

[Ternal]

So i can manage the color and intensity in the [LIGHT_SERIES_...] instead of using multiple times the [MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...]? I try it immediately

@fughettaboutit

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Many weeks on trying and finally i found the solution, thank you so much man, really!
I now have only a problem with a texture, but is a minor problem which i can fix easily
