Sorry for the bump but I think I've followed this thread and I just can't get my extra_9 to display properly. 

 

Here's my setup

 

Mesh is assigned to material 'emerglights lightsemissive'

Sorry for the bump but I think I've followed this thread and I just can't get my extra_9 to display properly. 

 

Here's my setup

It looks like you have everything set up correctly. Its not displaying correctly in game right?

Ah I'm not getting it. 

I think it's emitting right... Sort of

 

I have a messageboard on the rear of my vehicle, so each extra7/8/9 is a screen for the board with a different word

extra 7 (POLICE)

extra 8 (HAZARD)

extra 9 (AHEAD)

 

They're all in the same position except slightly in front of each other. When I moved them all apart, they all lit up correctly in game. However, when i put them back together in front of the board, my extra 9 doesn't illuminate. Perhaps it's something to do with my hiearchy or the positioning of the meshes or something. Argh. This thread did teach my what I needed to get it emitting though. I just don't understand why it won't work properly in the position it's supposed to be in. 

 

e: The issue now is that extra 9 will not appear if it overlaps with another. It's very weird. It must be down to either the position of the objects, the hierarchy or maybe even the material list. I guess it's no longer relevant here.

(The A in AHEAD should overlap with the E in POLICE but it doesn't appear at all)

 

 

Edit: Wooo I got it working! Couldn't have done it without this thread though. Cheers Aussie, CJ and Nickie!
