Modding Forum

We are going to perform maintenance on Saturday, March 28th 2026, starting at 8:00 am UTC that is estimated to take no longer than 30 minutes.

One thing I've done a few times, is, delete the dummy and create a new one in the "left" view. I remember one spotlight model I used, illuminated everything behind it.

Yeah it's inside of the spotlight, like that was never moved really once I imported the spotlight everything was already in position I just needed to make it an extra and so it turns on with the headlights.

Where's the light dummy in relation to the spotlight itself ? If the dummy is in the middle of the car, the "light" will emanate from that position. Move the light dummy to the spotlight dome.

Yeah so basically it's an extra as in the spotlight and the light/emissive is an extralight 1 or 2 I don't remember but I believe I also used your spotlight for the charger I just made it into an extra.

If you're using extralights 3 and 4, the game will "merge" the environment reflections in the middle and unfortunately there's no way to change that other than to use extralights 1 and 2 if possible.

So this is like what I'd want to see if I can fix it or there is no fix, basically you can see that the "light" is coming from the centre of the vehicle instead of the spotlight and yes I am kinda new to zmodeler.

The position of the environment reflections and the light corona should always be based on the lights' dummies, make sure it is positioned in your spotlights.

Indeed, I've always wanted to create a place where one could download any mod and it would just work fine and without any issues. I've personally always disliked that with GTA, you always had to install and try mods for a while to see if they worked well or caused issues. That was particularly bad with the texture loss and other memory issues that plagued pretty much every GTA since San Andreas. To give everyone some insights into why we're now planning these changes despite that: The main…

Hey thank you for the reply and does setting the ID to 14 and 15 only work for the 2 extras/spotlights or can I continue like in those numbers so maybe something else that turns on a light it would be ID 16? I will be able to provide a picture later on to actually show what I want to fix because this only made it so I can turn them on with the headlights the actual light still comes from the centre of the vehicle instead of the actual spotlight.
