First of all i would like to say, I DID NOT find out how to do this, But i DID NOT Rip this tutorial from somewhere, i Completely Re-did
it to try to make it easyer for people to understand it. but i did find a better Z Coordinate for your neon to spawn perfectly inside the warthog so that it deosnt stick out and have that ugly "Ball" Lookin thing under it. This Tutorial may look longer than the other ones, But thats because its explained more thoroughly, Enjoy


Warthog Neons Tutorial
Programs Needed -
Entity - With mostly up to date plugins (Find Here)
Dothalo - (Find Here) <-- In Modding Tools Pack)

Now Still in dothalo, Go to the Warthog again, Then Go to Dependencies. Find The Warthogs [Ligh] Dependency, (objects\vehicles\warthog\attachments\warthog_headlights) And Change it to (effects\objects\vehicles\ghost\ghost_plasma_vent (1) As Shown below

Now Open AdI 2.0, Go to the [Ligh] Tag, Then go to effects\objects\vehicles\ghost\ghost_plasma_vent
Then go to the Tag editor (Bottom Right, Looks like a notepad)
and you will see a bunch of Boxes with a bunch Of values. As Shown

Now, Once there Change Both Radian Value's to 0.05, As Shown


Radian%202.bmp




Now, Once That is Done, Decide What Color Neon that you want, For now Lets Set the range to Red, Blue or Green Neon. Pick One.
Now Once you have picked the color you want,
CHANGE EVERY SINGLE VALUE OF THAT COLOR TO 1,
AND EVERY OTHER COLOR TO 0.
As Shown


ADI%20VALUES1.bmp




As you Can see, I Have Used Green, But do the Same thin For Blue And Red, If you Want a Other Color Like Purple, Then You Have to Mix to together, To do that Change All The Values of Red And Blur to 0.5, So it gets both and they mix.. sorta like Paint.



This is the Last Part, Open Entity Go to The [Mode] Tag And go to the Warthog, then click Tool's --> Meta Editor, Now Scroll Down in the Meta Editor and Find "Markers" Drop down box and click the Drop Down Box Under it and select 9 (Warthog Headlight's) As Shown

Once You are there, Then Change the X, Y, Z Coordinates to
X - 8E-11
Y - 0.001747948
Z - -0.1111111
As Shown

ALMOST%20DONE.bmp




Now Once You Have Done That, BEFORE you do anything else Click "Save" At the Top left Corner Of the Meta Editor, That's It! Your Done! Hope This Tutorial Helped, Now Resign And Transfer.

↓ DON'T FORGET TO [SIZE=+0]CLICK IT!! ↓[/SIZE]

For some reason I can't open the Warthog in Entity right before I Meta Edit. I'm running Windows 7. Help?
