Extras Not Flashing?

[MayhemMercenary 377]

Hello,

I am currently working on a vehicle in zmodeler, but I am having trouble. I am trying to add some lights onto the rambar but the extras are not flashing. The light housing/module is there but the extras are not appearing. I would appreciate some help, thanks.

Are they mapped? (Sorry i have to ask the dumb questions)

Haha. Yes, they are mapped red and blue. It is very strange. I even moved them out of the light casings to see if the glass was blocking them, they still didn't work.

See how you have that DML or whatever after the extras? Well that's your problem. Just attach all extra_L0s together and the same for the rest.

Yes, I will do that. I name things so I can remember them, DML stand for Dominator Left, DMM for middle, and well... you guessed it, DMR for right. Lol. Ill try it out. Thank you very much!

No Worries.

Okay, did not work. I noticed some type of flashing but not what I want. It was a grey flash, not read and blue. My textures are in and the object is mapped. Hmmmmmm.

hmm, what lights are you using? (Who made them)

I am using the Whelen Dominator by Pengi. Also, the light are showing red/blue in open IV. When I originally downloaded it, I had to re name and assign the textures to the model because I already had  emerglights and emerglight_emis files. I do not know if I could have messed up somewhere in there. I hove only made about 5-6 six models, so please be patient with me, lol. :D

It might be a material problem. Just reload your materials and reassign? I have no Idea whats going on cause I have never been in this predicament.

Okay, I have something for you to see. Do you notice how the three that are supposed to be flashing are grey? The one on the far right side is transparent:

Try to flip the polygons in zmod. Modify > Flip (Selected mode)

No, that did not work.

[Hoffers 87]

No, that did not work.

I am stumped. Did you reassign and U-V map them again?

[MayhemMercenary 377]

I reassigned, but did not U-V map them again. When I assigned them they were already mapped correctly.

I have no idea then.

[MayhemMercenary 377]

I have no idea then.

I want to rip out my hair.

I have no idea then.

Fixed it! I opened the z3d file instead of importing the wft and then imported my vehicle and Walla, it works!! Now...how do I put my hair back in..?
