Hi everybody,

I am looking for the means to realize an effect of light (green, blue or red ...) as in the Zelda game when Link opens a chest.

I already tried to make a rectangular object I put on the top of the chest but I can't create a progressive transparancy effect on the texture... and the visual result is bad...
if anyone knows how to make a texture like that, Thanks !

Below is an example of what I want to achieve and the texture I use (very bad !)

Could it be done via scripting, maybe, to show either an animated or static Self-illuminated image only when the chest was open? Or perhaps with sprites?

I would have thought a decal may give a good result .. and easier to animate ?

Yah, just he said it looked bad for whatever reason, so I was thinking maybe if there was a way to make something with light rays in it appear in and above the opening when it opens, perhaps that would help. I do tend to over-think the heck out of things though. My brain tends to go for the most complicated option first. lol

See that's what I was able to whip up.

I was surprised when I saw the effect.
Tried first with standard entity_basic.fx, I did not like it at all, tormented - tormented and decided to try decal_basic.fx. Even himself said - WoW!
