sirensetting 1 has not rotors

that would explain it. i was looking at the list officerfive0 made and didnt realize it wasnt in order of siren settings.

is it possible to make a corona/rotator flash 2 different colors? trying to do nypd and need white in front and blue in back. i thought i saw somewhere that someone managed it but i cant find it

Yes, but not the way you are probably thinking. The only way to have dual colors is to have to sirens on top of each other. They would start their rotation opposite each other....meaning if one is firing towards the front at the beginging of the rotation the other one would have to start firing to the rear. The down side of this is that when they make 180 degrees of the rotation, your second color would be firing to the front and the front to the rear.

Can I make each do just a half rotation? 

Yes. I made the MX7000 in my STL area car pack do a portion of a rotation to simulate intersection sweeps. To do this set sync to bpm=false and adjust the speed value to fit.

I have no flashers, just rotators. Currently set at 130 bpm. Do I still need to unsync it? What's the setting for half rotation? 

yes...you still need to unsync it. No idea...that is something you will have to mess with.

Thanks. The speed line or rotation line controls how far it moves? 

speed

 

Thanks 

Got a question for the community here. I'm using a custom carcols so it's not even close to vanilla. When i spawn my vehicle in game the emissives are huge. Everything else works as it should they're just massive. Is there a way to fix that?

In Zmodeler, you need to scale them down. 

Yep. And in case it's not your model you can always edit each siren node scaling factor in the carcols.ymt until you reach the appropiate one.

Or just turn off scaling for that siren node, therefore not needing to scale the object in ZM.

 

Hey guys, what's the maximum number of Siren Settings you can add to 'carcols.ymt'?

iirc at least up to 999

Cool.

Quick one for you, does the following correspond sequentially (S1, S2, etc), or is it assigned to a random 'Siren'? This is the first entry after the header text.

It's sequential. (can only be 20 sirens per vehicle. Total siren settings which you assign to a vehicle in the carvar is 999. Or maybe 99. Not sure anymore)

correct. And i would assume 999, because i've used 3 digit numbers with no issues

So i'm fixing to undergo another project. Trying to make a true MX7000 with working sweeps and all. Does anyone know the value that could make the heads on the sweeps rotate 45 degree? This is what i currently have, yes i know the carona color is a bit off but that will change later on.
