Hey there, I searched a bit on this forum and found I could make headlights with help of Dazzle. But my headlights won't show up in-game. What have I done wrong?

Here's what I did:

I added 1 plane at each headlight at each tread on my tank. (Light1, Light2).

I link the planes to my treads.

I put Dazzle.ini in my plugin folder in 3DS Max 8.

I choose Dazzle, Hide.

I choose "REN_HEADLIGHT" at the dazzle menu thingy.

I save and export my work and try it in-game, still no headlights. I've also tried to change time in-game to midnight but still no lights.

Any help would be really appriciated!

Thanks in advance!

For starters don't link them to the treads (link them to the origin bone or something like that), and try it using the sun dazzle effect first, as that one is actually visible. And definitely don't hide them, leave hide unchecked.

Well my headlight models are attached on my treads, that's why I link them to the treads. But thanks for reply I'll try it as soon as possible.

Ok I've tried a few different things.

I got 4 headlights on my vehicle, 1 at front of each tread. Also I got 2 headlights on my front of the chassis.

At the left tread headlight I chose REN_HEADLIGHT and linked it to the tread, at the right tread headlight I took REN_HEADLIGHT and linked it to the origin.

At the left chassis headlight I chose SUN and linked to origin, at the right one I did the same but linked to v_chassis. Still when I enter vehicle in-game. No results... Someone know what's wrong?

Yes, I got the Dazzle.ini in my data folder.

You did uncheck hide from the dazzle right, can you see the boxes in game?

I unchecked to hide the >planes<, yes.

http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=166559&rid=23338& srch=headlight#msg_166559

That's what I tried to make it from. It says I shouldn't use boxes as they're easy to misplace. And havn't really looked if I can the the planes in-game. Actually when I think about it I think I couldn't see them. And Hide is unchecked.
