You should be able to simpl include the script and in the car action, change the material to mat_nm;. I'm not sure why it's not showng up in the material menu... xXxGuitar511 - Programmer

Well since the body is already using the carinit action we cant assign it another action. I wish that coul be changed. So we have to include the script into a crurrent script. And seeing how I am a scripting idiot, i need to ask on here for help

If you could test in your project. duster Also if there is a way for you to maybe upload the changed scripts. I could probably do better. Up to you though. Thank You

I applied the material to a basic flat box i modeled in MED and the bump map look and specularity work, however the model is evenly lit and seems to be completely ignoring the lights that are illuminating the level geometry surrounding the model. Any ideas as to why this is would be great. Also I didn't modify your shader code or anything like that, just applied it right away. Thanks!

Though, in my shader I added the option to use the ambience created from static lighting. by right-clicking the script from the properties tab in WED, you can use the "customize" panel for editing shader options... xXxGuitar511 - Programmer
