Hi Guys + Girls!
Being new to the world of MMF2, (yes I have been on the moon!)
Can some1 please tell me a way to make a light effect around a lamp,street light etc that can then be turned on/off.
It don't have to be a simple way! I'm just looking for a good way!
maybe an example with/without extension?
Many Thanks in advance!!!
ps just like to say too - Love the site and the examples people have shown etc...

I think the easiest effect would be to use additive blending!
First, make a white/yellow to black radial gradient, like this:
(If you need help with that, check out GIMP and some tutorials! )
Put it in MMF2 as an active object and go to its properties window. Under "effect" in the first tab, select "additive blending".
And voila, a glowing light!
Here's a simple mouse-controlled example: http://jollycrouton.com/Uploads/light.zip
If you want more complicated methods, there are a few ways to do it. Simple semitransparency, for example. Or a system that will make everywhere but the light darker.

Croutons dipped in ranch dressing for this one.
Bacon ranch if available.
