The dial on the object trans02 uses a texture that has the ILLUM set on it, but I wanted the texture to turn off in the same manner as a light object. I tried to set up the trans02 as an anim light object with a radius of 1 and Max brightness of 1. The light turns off as expected but the texture remains illuminated.
I might try changing the name of the texture, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Try also setting Self Illumination to 1.

To toggle Self illumination you need the AnimLight script and the property Renderer->Self Illumination must be set.
The property Renderer -> Anim Light is only necessary if you really want it to be a light.

Self Illumination with 1 or 0 works. Thanks! :) I had the AnimLight script on the transformer when I was testing it as a light. :)

To clarify, you only need the AnimLight script if you want the self-illumination to animate. If you just want to set Self Illumination to 0 on an object and leave it that way (for example to make some machinery look inactive), it doesn't need any script support.

Thanks ZB. :) In my mission the player has to figure out how to turn on the power for the city, and I didn't like having the dials on the transformer illuminate while they were off.
