I want gun’s muzzle flash to light up the surroundings whenever gun fires, but I don’t have much animation experience, so I’m asking in advance before I do something stupid/suboptimal.
I assume I’d have to do something inside the animation montage, which I already have and use to play gun’s sounds. I assume I’d have to create a custom notifier to play in the montage, but I’m not sure how would it interact with the light? Do I add it to the animation itself or to the player character?
I’m pretty much clueless on animation, so I’d really appreciate some guide on how to tackle that.
