Okay, I'm not sure if this is the right place for asking questions, if not please tell me and I will move it. Anyway, I was wondering how do you make meshs, and objests to glow.... Like I want to know what the Effect Maker is on the tool objecy maker... I'm new and I was really wanting the crystal to glow a different color then blue, because I have an element group and the crystal will help them gain power/ re-charge, anyway if someone can help that would be awesome!!! I give Karma! XD

Well no this would go in Game Help but i cannot move posts but i can answer them.

This tutorial for mesh making, it comes with links to programs (Its all free)

In the FH folder>>Media>>Obects>>misc there is the image "crystalGlow" and its material file "crystal". If you have GIMP or Photoshop you can edit it in either program, create a new layer, then colour the new layer in whatever colour you like then save it as "crystalGlow2" or something. Open the material file in Notepad and this is what you will see..

material crystalMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         emissive 1 1 1
         texture_unit
         {
            env_map spherical
            texture crystalTex.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material crystalGlowMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         scene_blend add
         depth_write off
         fog_override true
         texture_unit
         {
            texture crystalGlow.jpg
                        tex_address_mode clamp
            wave_xform scale_x sine 0.9 0.5 0 0.1
            wave_xform scale_y sine 0.9 0.5 0 0.1
         }
      }
   }
}

You can delete that if you want your only worrying about the glow at the moment
Now in Object Maker>>Effect Maker>>Billboard Material you type in that box whatever you typed in at the top of the code. Example if you crystalGlow2Mat instead
Your type your image names here, if you saved it as crystalGlow2.jpg then that is what you change it to

This is basically how you would make a texture for anything not just glows so you can try changing a crystals texture to match the glow.
