Search Light

I was sitting at my computer, thinking of some cool model to do and the idea suddenly hit me- a searchlight!
How cool wouldn't it be to have like a restricted area or something with barbed wire fences and searchlights?
The model has got a custom Stand animation where it turns around, just like a real search light.
Enjoy!

Update: Made both materials two-sided
New light effect, new screenshot

thanks for the comments :D By the way, an updated version with much better light effect is coming up

Edit: if you got any ideas for modern doodads, please tell me! I've got an idea for 1 more doodad but I could still use some more. I'm gonna relase a pack and the theme is like, modern defense/security. With fence,barbed wire, watermine, searchlights, a roadblock etc. Currently need 5 more ideas.

I have no idea how to make it work like that. Don't even think it's possible.

Actually you can just make so the light projector could face any point just like the cannon tower does. It's something with "head" or something... Or you can make so it would have no animations and you could just make it turn to one of sides with trrigers or whatever...

just make it's animation with light but no movement,
make it stand alternate!

and the stand alternate has no spinning
and make the spinning by:
the spinning is made by triggering!
and the lamp fitting, make it round so it's undetectable when it is rotated !

^^:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

That was not what I meant -_-
But do you guys really want an unanimated version?

This model is simple but neat, though it could use a small ball of light where the beam is coming from, like the light from the Marine's Armor.

Very cool all the same. :grin:

I like it but it doesn't move at a steady pace. Good model though! 4.7/5

If the light was less light and more yellow-ish that would be awesome, like the city-scape lamp post.
