Hey everyone, new(ish) NL2 user here. I'm working on a large park themed around Disney's "TRON: Legacy", and I am currently working on the main rides for the park. I want to make the rails on one of the coasters glow à la the Light Rail featured in TRON: Uprising. Is there an easy way to achieve this goal? Either through adding an emissive texture or just a setting in the editor? FTR, I am using the Twisted Standup Coaster Style, just in case that might change the way I would go about this. Also, if I were to do this hypothetical texture change and upload the park to the Steam Workshop, would it carry over properly?

Thanks in advance!

There is a way to do this, but it involves using the Professional license of NoLimits 2 (despite the name, it is accessible to everyone, but is upcharged from the base version). I don't have professional so I don't fully know the process, but there are several other members on the forum who do have the professional version of NoLimits 2. Sorry I couldn't be of more use, but don't give up the search! :)

EDIT : I tryed but i can't help u with this problem

I'm not sure if its just only with Pro version but i might have a solution (i have a Pro version for abt 6 years) . Send me an email (see my profile) and i will send u a PKG file to let u see it.

I think I mentioned this before, but sometimes people would like to be able to see stuff without having to email you. Just an observation.

you can probably achieve what you want to with the light pattern creator, here's a tutorial for how to use that i found on youtube, especially if you apply an emission map to your chosen texture, which there is a tutorial for right here
(the site was down for me just now but hopefully it goes back up)
