Is there a way to take control over a searchlight ?

Thanks in advance

not without a mod. you'd basically have to crack open the mg42 script and reengineer it. :wink:

i haven't looked in the mg42 script for soooo long, i can't really tell you, except that they use static models isntead of textures. i think. :?

yup , static models , the searchlight is build with static models 2 ....so it isn't impossible :)
i hope :?

I figured it out to change the static models .. When it is idle the static models are good, but if I press e then it is a normal MG42 again.
