QUESTION Is there a way to make a material reflective like the photo?

[Cai.L]

Is there a way to make a material reflective to the headlights in the dark such as cats eyes in the road or the reflective bollards in the picture attached?

Thanks

Would it instead be easier to make the material emissive and try to achieve the effect that way?

easiest, for the whole thing:

[INCLUDE]
INCLUDE = common/conditions.ini

[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...]
DESCRIPTION=reflectors more diffuse at night
MATERIALS=reflectors   ; change this
KEY_...=ksDiffuse
VALUE_...=1.0          ; very high diffuse value at night
VALUE_OFF_...=ORIGINAL
KEY_...=ksAlphaRef
VALUE_...=-193         ; boost with magic value
VALUE_OFF_...=0
CONDITION=NIGHT_SMOOTH

there is another method, using multimap shader, see no 2. here:
