We need a mod to shoot out lights

[mayorez]

Is it possible to make a mod that would let us shoot out spot lights and lanterns? That would really add to the games realism in my opinion. I understand that terminals are used to deactivate spot lights...but bullets should work just as well =D

You can already shoot out spotlights. :wink:

I'm also not sure if lights from lanterns even affect stealth, and if they do, it might not be possible (or at the very least, feasible) for shooting lanterns out to work. If they work like they do in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, the lanterns themselves do not give off the light. There's an invisible light source that actually gives off the light. And, if somehow there was a mod made to shoot those invisible light sources, the actual model for the lantern would still be lit.

It'd be really easy to do something like this for a custom lantern with a script, but it'd be nearly impossible to do it for every lantern in the game and to make it compatible with other mods. Granted, though, you never know. Someone might find a way to make it work someday.

Yup.

 

The objects don't light themselves. If I went to a fireplace and and removed fireplace via GECK, light would still be around. The light itself is it own object in the cell. So even if you shot them, the light would still be there.

To go threw and link all lights to a source that can be shot out would a crazy insane project :sick:
