I want to have a control box (doesn't matter what kind) that is ELS mapped but the only problem is that I'm not sure how to do it. Can someone tell me?

I'm not sure exactly how inaccurate this may be since it's for v3-v6, but the execution shouldn't change much.

No that's not it. It's the control boxes

Well heres a brief version:

1) Create a new shader "[your texture] lightsemissive" (i.e. emerglights lightsemissive)

       a) Texture 1: your texture

       b) Texture 2: your texture/vehicle_generic_dirtmap (or whatever).  Apply as Manual UV 2 and            Multiply Add

       c) Texture 3: your texture or vehicle_generic_smallspecmap.  Apply as Specular (under current) and Multiply Add

       d) Texture 4: vehenvmap128 (or whatever it is).  Apply as Auto Sphere Environment and Multiply Add

(If you already have a shader you wanna use, skip step )

2) Create a copy of what you want to light up

3) Assign to "[your texture] lightsemissive"

4) Select what you want to light up, map it generating a new texture and force it to "[your texture] lightsemissive"

5) Move/Scale/Rotate your part to where you need/want it

6a) Rename your lite up part to misc_[name] 

or

6b) Attach it to the console or chassis_L0 or whatever it was detached from.

 

That should be it, hope it helped. 

If I missed anything please tell me

​Yes, I'm aware. It's the same process, but you're doing it on the control box instead of in the back window.
