We've all seen it done and I wonder, how can I seemingly add more than 20 lights on a vehicle.

Thanks.

The trick is having multiple lights under a single siren. The siren mesh can be as big as you want, and can be split into multiple separate polygons. All the sections under the same ID will just flash simultaneously, and only have one corona at whatever the position of the bone is.

Ah. Well the one corona thing kind of puts me off. Thank you for answering the question, though 

you beat me to the question lol. What are the IDs for the sirens because That could come in handy

What are the ID's for each siren if I may ask. It will come in handy for the next update for my raptor and other vehicles I plan on releasing.

Sorry for asking multiple times I wound up quoting the wrong person and that happend

Not sure I follow. The IDs are siren1 through siren20. For siren1 the corona emits from the point where the siren1 part's axis is centered, but the emmissive mesh can be whatever you want. Check out

Heres a siren list made by f5544:

siren 1 =left red cannot rotate light(always the left direction)  Rotate mesh 90 degrees clockwise
siren 2 =front red(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 3 =back red(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 4 =back blue(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 5 =front blue(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 6 =right blue cannot rotate light(always the right direction)  Rotate mesh 90 degrees against clockwise
siren 7 =front red(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 8 =front blue(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 9 =front red(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 10 =front blue(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 11 =back red(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 12 =back red(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 13 =back blue(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 14 =back blue(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 15=back red rotate mesh180 degrees
siren 16=back blue rotate mesh180 degrees
siren 17=front red(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 18=front blue(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 19=front red(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)
siren 20=front blue(light can be rotated. to do this rotate pivot and siren dummy axe)

That's only for sirensetting 1, mind you. Carcols has the info on all of them.
