Multiple emissives on a single part.

[CaptainKipard]

Is it possible? I'm texturing some Star Trek inspired engines and I'd like to have two emissives of different colours. One red that's tied to the engine on/off state (or just always on), and one blue that's tied to the throttle state.

Thanks.

Do you mean putting two emissive animations on the same transform? I tried getting this to work once, making a blinking yellow light to start blinking green, I could never get it reliably working (with my own plugin).

If you make sure that each emissive animation is on a separate transform it should be fine, though it might still require a new plugin.

If you click my Simian Endeavors link you'll see that some parts of the mesh are red and some blue. I don't want the same bit of the material to change colour, I want different bits of the material to be different colours, and be controlled by different things. I know I can divide the engines into two parts and have the tips always emitting, and then have throttle response for the blue bits, but it'd be nice to have everything a one part.

I don't understand what you mean by "on a separate transform". Should I divide the mesh and parent it to two separate transforms, and then parent those to the main parent?

If you seperate one bit of the mesh into a seperate object you can make it glow a different color than the other bit, and one fo them you can animate with the direct throttle response thingy. I don't know of any way to make the other object animate on activation from the top of my head tho.

Maybe one of BahamutoD's experimental animation modules will be of help
