How to make lights effects?

[KingAndy]

Sorry for the really non specific subject, I don't know how to say it in english. I'll try to explain you with a picture.

I was riding Ford Bronco converted by Riva (btw a really nice 4x4, and with not too high polygons) at night, when I saw that the front lights glow on the headlights, and on the floor too! I already saw it on other cars, and I thinked it would be something cool for my Interceptor. But how can I make this?:



I already got the texture from GTA San Andreas effects file, but I don't know how to make it.

I even look the parts of the car in Vehicle Viewer but there is not that light effect in there.

Maybe its part of the SHADOW_H?

That headlights projection beam effect it's indeed got by using the same object of for the shadow, called SHADOW_H. The visive effect it's given just by a texture, visible only for the night times (the file name ends with the _ni suffix, the normal texture is totally transparent). It's now used in many cars add-ons.
I'll provide you the object made in that way and the textures.

Thank you for your help. That's why I didn't found anything "unusual" on Vehicle Viewer, because it don't show the night textures. I will try to make one on my car, thanks
