I was wondering in the community anyone has had a issue with the spotlight disappearing into a invisible wall or something of that nature. I hope someone can help solve this small issue.. I can't seem to grasp why it only happens on Police 2 slot... So I'm thinking it's just the model but not sure if somebody could enlighten me of the issue to resolve.

Its some specific models like BxBugs's charger where the spotlight mod does not work.

Oh my bad, didn't see the lightbar so i thought it was BxBugs's charger. Then we'll have to ask @Scuderio insted ;)

Most of the time it is a model-related issue, nothing you can do about it... :)

@DaWoodz

That's because the position of the origin of the spotlight is inside the vehicle.

To change the position you need to enable the edit mode: while you have the spotlight on press the Insert key(this key can be changed in the SpotlightConfig.ini under "EditModeKey"). This will show a GUI and I think it's pretty self explanatory, change the settings and click the huge save button 

The position is model independant so you will need to this for each vehicle you're having issues with.

I installed the model to check if it had any issues with the spotlight and it doesn't seem to, this position works fine for me: 

[POLICE2]
X = -0.84
Y = 0.83
Z = 0.8399997

Replace the POLICE2 X,Y and Z in the SpotlightConfig.ini file with those values and it should work fine.

ok I'm working with it right now another issue it has no environmental would be so kind to tell me the code to bring that to light :)

Thank you it works way better .. I tried it last night though my values must have been wrong clearly... I was wondering if you could tell me how to correct the lighting for environmental if possible for the model???

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean.

I currently use BEL for lighting I wonder if I switched to custom visuals 3.0 would correct the problem but I'm not sure at this point for the change yet. When I use the model at night, I get no reflection on buildings with that siren.... I don't quite understand that portion yet. I was wondering if you had knowledge in this area to point me in the right direction... I was wondering if their is a value you change in the meta? I know developers can be busy people but I appreciate the insight on the matter ..... Thank you for your time and patience.

Oh, no idea, I don't have much knowledge about modded files.
