This was supposed to go in the flashing light tutorial that I never bothered making.
It's not exactly like the dazzle lights (dazzles have no w3d, just a texture that is put into a place via a bone). This way the light is part of the model, and gets smaller when viewed from a distance (dazzles stay the same size). This alinea really doensn't matter.
The epic journey starts with a plane. Press M, add a texture, and set the shader to add or screen.
![index.php?t=getfile&id=6050&private=0](index.php?t=getfile&id=6050&private=0)
When you've done that, edit the pivot. Rotate it around the green axis until the red arrow points up, away from your light.
You now have something like this.
![index.php?t=getfile&id=6051&private=0](index.php?t=getfile&id=6051&private=0)
At w3d settings, pick cam-orient.
Export.
Profit.
