Let there be a light.

Is there a plug in that can illuminate a mesh as if it were a light? 

To simplify this, is there a module that will make say mesh "engine" to illuminate without the confusion of animation of light? 

Using emmisive textures I can make it glow, but not switchable. Have tried ModuleColorChanger but can't get it to work.

Pretty sure you won’t need a plug-in to make an emissive toggleable. My guess is ur not doing something right with modulecolorchanger.

Hah Harris. This I know. Lol

Might help if you post your cfg and maybe textures and what you want it to do ?

Well I know what I did wrong, apparently I know how to animate a moving part, but have no idea on how to animate a light. Lol.

I was making a federation variant Miranda class cruiser tos, and I needed the engines to illuminate as well as Windows, but too many failures later I decided to just make them glow using emmisive, all the time. After all once started a warp coil stays lit.

You can try 

	MODULE
	{
		name = FXModuleAnimateThrottle
  	        animationName = *******
		responseSpeed = 0.001
		dependOnEngineState = false
		dependOnThrottle = false
	}

or but you would have to turn it on 

	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleAnimateGeneric
                animationName = *******
		        //isOneShot = true
                startEventGUIName = Lights On
                endEventGUIName = Lights Off
                actionGUIName = Toggle Lights
                allowAnimationWhileShielded = True
	}

The issue I'm having is doing the animation for a light source.  Lol
