heavywaters Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 If youve seen "Attack of the Clones" you know the battle in the cave between Count Dooku and Anakin is the most visually stunning saber fight in the whole series. I think the lightsabers are at their best when used in the dark, but to reproduce the same effect I need to make a weapon emit light like a torch would... 1) is this even possible. 2) if it is, how would I go about doing it without a script. I have compared a torch nif with the weapon nif and found the "light source" portion of the torch and am curious if I can just add in a new node with the same info to the sword. I have created a sheathing FIX for a Lightsaber mod and would like to keep my lack of mod skill from hindering further improvement. Any insight would be capital!

alonsomartinez Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 There are many Light Saber mods out there but if you want to do it i think I have the general idea.You have to open up the two files.The sword and the light effect like a flame node or something like that.You have to make the flame node a child of the swords main ninode and then you have to position and scale it.Thats pretty much all I know.

clockout1 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well, if you wanted the weapon to glow first off, then you would probs just give it a bright glowmap. For the light, have a torch with an invisible mesh, then have a script that equips the torch when you equip the lightsaber. BTW no idea if this will work.

DavidBudreck Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Making a weapon glow is not impossible. Just give it a light spell as part of its Enchantment. The Apostle daggers are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apostle daggers are like that. I know a light spell will light up the area around the PC, but this is not the effect I was after. ONLY items in the light section of the CS can be a light source, not weapons. so... it is impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
