Unreal Engine 5 - Police Emergency Lightbar - Part 1

Creating a police light bar in Unreal Engine 5 can be done by using a combination of materials and animations. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create one:

In Unreal Engine 5, create a new static mesh and name it "PoliceLightBar".

In the static mesh editor, create a simple rectangular shape that will represent the police light bar.

Create a new material and name it "PoliceLightMaterial".

In the Material Editor, add a emissive input to the material and set it to be a bright color, such as blue or red. This will make the light appear bright.

Assign the "PoliceLightMaterial" to the static mesh.

In the static mesh editor, create two separate sections, one for the front lights and one for the rear lights.

In the blueprint for the police car, create an animation sequence that will alternate between turning on the front lights, turning on the rear lights, and turning both off.

In the blueprint, create an event that will trigger the animation sequence when the player presses a specific button or key.

Attach the static mesh to the police car in the scene.

With these steps, you should now have a basic police light bar in Unreal Engine 5. You can further adjust the properties of the material and animation to customize the look of the police light bar. Additionally, you can add additional animations or effects to make the lights blink or change colors.
