Beamng // Custom map tutorial part4 // Lights and Particles

[Music] [Music] hello and welcome you amazing person my name is Rob I'm the Mana gaming guy today we're be carrying on with some more bam andg map making tutorial stuff hopefully you've been following along with the tutorial so far you've managed to get your own map up and running with the code and have some assets available and also managed to make your own beautiful flat is Road mostly flat this one needs fixing little dips off around here but we can maybe talk about that later on in the tutorial and get that sorted not a problem in the next few videos we are going to be talking about making things look pretty this is like the fun part doing all the prop placement and the details this is a bit we really do enjoy find a little bit of an area of the map give it some sort of theme and then go with it this theme is going to be like I don't know I wanted some parking cuz we're going to be having some sort of drift area um here and I wanted some reason for it to look like this I might make it into some sort of fancy car park um not sure we got buildings I'm tempted to put maybe a tunnel through here uh some reason I put a castle up there bit of backdrop I guess but um yeah let's get on with talking about what we're going to be viewing in the next few days shall we so we got lights we would like to show you how to implement your lights into the game so you can have your own street lights and how I managed to achieve that we've got particles this is some water coming out of a tube look at that don't look pretty I've also got the lights on that and they're flashing away with different colors and they show up on the particles so that's pretty cool and fun and interesting something to look into and this fence you see we got a transparent I don't know why that keeps happening if anyone knows how to fix the game doing that weird blackout thing at something I'm trying to work out please let me know uh yes a new fence uh that you can do that you can see through look got a person on the other side it doesn't look quite right from the dead center but if it was like a Distance by a house you probably wouldn't know none of this least of what it was like got close uh I'm pretty sure as well I had it so it's only on one side you don't have to have it on the other side so that's prettyy good idea to have that happening I think it was just the double side button I even put it up here so should we get started shall we I think I've covered most Basics oh we're going to look into water as well um how you can get a better reflection in your water and eventually we're going to talk about shadows and fixing them we got got any Shadows give me some Shadows give me some Shadows there we go um nice and okay pretty looking Shadows so talking about all that sort of stuff in the next up and coming videos so hopefully you're excited for that in today's video we are going to be looking at I think for simple Basics um because some things need uh other programs so let's uh start with some lights and particles shall we first of all lights now how do you put a light in the game wow you want to go to this little circle thing up here create an object and you get a lot of things that you can throw into the game these are mostly all quite fun and um worth having a good look at and play around but today's one is a point light or Spotlight I think uh if you're doing street lights it's going to be a spotlight cuz there's a light that points down basically and your point lights it's going to be like a fire or you know like a light bulb something that illuminates light rather than just points it in One Direction so for our street lights I reckon if you got to put a lamp post in that's what I've reckon we should do right now is recopy what I've done here let go into your shapes so we're going to click on all first Arts uh shapes in fact I think just searches all anyway if you click all it will just search all of it uh is it going to be lamp post no is it street light oh no which one was it lampost street light I forget what it's called anyway you might not have one you might oh I'm pushing lots of W's I'm just going to click on it I'm going to find out what it's called that way click click there we go um the name of this thing is light okay that's the one thing I didn't try I guess light airport Spotlight and we click this you get a little preview to the side and we obviously had the street light that I'm using and then we got some traffic lights which will one day work out how they work as well just click and drag your object in now this object will not come with a light built into it this is something you're going to have to add so yes click back on that plus button click back on your Spotlight and when you click on the map you will go on objects if you notice it's on the ground now and uh you can click it on top of this line and then go back to your pencil and then you can click on your Spotlight that you've just created at the moment it's beaming over here not exactly what we want also it's not exactly on the light so we're going to move it over and we're going to look around make sure it's roughly where it should be and then I'm going to move it below there we go I'm going push number two on your keypads and this will give us the opportunity to rotate the lights now you can also change um where the arrows Point blah blah blah okay it's not going to work on there for some reason other things it will do if it's uh not pointing like as you should do this red line here and it's ski withi use that little button there basically I'm going to turn it now so it's pointing at the floor there we go okay look the radius isn't quite clipping all the floor that's why it's doing this weird thing so we go over here we go into our inspector remember all your windows are under the window tab we missing any the thing we want is outer angle that's the circle here and I'm going to change that to something like 50 will that make it reach no okay that's made it bigger I want to change the range sorry range is not big enough let's try 15 there we go 15 goes all the way across yeah it does amazing so then that's how you set up your lights of course we've got some other settings that you can use now I like to every so often maybe like one or two in a whole map I'll have a blinking light and you can do that by animating it click on it animated click the animated button so it's on then choose your animated then flicker is going to be the one that's going to make it look like it's about to Blink and blow out so that's pretty cool also you might want to put a flare on cuz you turn it off now at night time you can't actually see where the light's coming from you you know there's nothing there so you want to add a flare to it um d That's that little bottom here just simple flare would do and there you go now you got a flare indicating where the light is coming from little party going on over there I've got them like pulsating at different rates uh it didn't like having more than two lights on it so to get free to work I got got it puls in and there you go that's how that works so cool little flickering lights that's quite an easy tutorial I don't think there's much more I can really help you with brightness I think South B really it's going to get brighter if you want to change your color you got your color here you just click on this little box uh and then you can change whatever color you want it to be you have a little Rave going on somewhere like in a nightclub white would do us you can also go for maybe like the more traditional Lighty blue sort of color or you can go for old score orangey sort of color that is quite popular in the real world yeah uh do cast a shadow cast Shadow is a bit broken so probably don't recommend using that even though it didn't really look like it was broken just then normally it makes weird stuff happen on the ground uh experiment one day it will be fixed I'm sure we talk about animate we talk about flare Advanced lightning okay texture text textur is the shadow that's going to be coming off uh so we're not really too far cost about that shadow distance we don't want to touch any of that stuff really um unless you got Shadows being activated Advanced lightning not bothered about that cuz I think they just break things if I use this I that's really important for this sort of stuff anyway so there's your lights and you got a little flickering light so there you go that's a cool little detail to have now particles um are basically near of the same sort of thing you got a huge list uh let's actually add a new one cuz I don't want to ruin the ones we've got particles click on the circle again and look for up here and we got particle El so this is good for creating fire we can create waterfalls we can create waves and Mists all sorts of stuff really uh you click on here you got a huge list of things these are the ones actually listed we got dust does waterfall spray or Le leaves that' be quite crazy let's have a look at the leafes shall we really see much going on let's um put it in the ground up there turn it up I really don't understand what leafes is maybe it's something you drive over and something will happen H not too sure but uh yeah we can fire and I'm pretty sure if you put this on the car it will set the car on fire so we give that a go see if that is true Let's uh let's angle it down like this okay and then we can pump up the gas make it huge uh what like 100 oh that's that's really huge what so what's happens when I put this in front of the car [Music] then oh is it going to do something it don't look like it's doing anything I if you watched um spiel's recent video I'm pretty sure this is how he would have got his fans to work is by using this stuff well his new map anyway you think that would be like sending it flying but some reason the fire is not actually burning it that's a shame confetti we let's turn this down anyway um little Confetti Party that's pretty fun so yeah your velocity is just going to change how fast it's coming out and I thought it would interfere with the car I'm sure it should do I'm have to do some research myself cuz I'm sure like if we put it on the water it's meant to do something to it that's just nothing special there is it it's just falling down straight away anyway I think you get the idea of these particles we'll have to look into into working out why it's not destroying the car you might have to uh reset maybe and put it back in there that way as in like save the game and reload the game and then maybe it'll work but particles definitely should interfere with the car anyway so yeah there you go there lights and particles let's just delete that last one we don't really need that that's nice little quick tutorial for you get you started I think next we're looking to doing the fence show you how to do that we do need to have a photo editing software to do that one uh placing buildings well I basically showed you how to do that with this Street Lamp I didn't place these all individually like if you click on them they are three parts so I place the bottom Middle top and then when I've got all of them selected I can hold shift you see to select them and then I can hold contrl D and then that is just duplicate all the items so we got another block of flats there so but we don't need to talk about that that's how basically I've popped all these in and that's also how I made these long walls I set up a good row of them so it wasn't too repetitive and then I'll just hold shift and collect clicked click Oh my days if you accidentally misclick you'll click the map if your arrows disappear um yeah just unclick and then restart again cuz you do not really want to accidentally duplicate the terrain and paste that so then you can shift d spin it around there you go if you don't want to be careful of it looking too repetitive you can spin it around like this and just flip it around every so often no harm in doing that you can maybe make it higher lower I got a broken wall bit here I think I'll probably add a few of those in along so there we go I think that would do for today's tutorial I hope you like that if it's something that's helped you or even the whole series has been helping you please hit that like button give it a bit of a share so everyone else can find it too that' be amazing I you keep it real stay safe and Shout Out love bye-bye
