Fake Lights/LensFlare

I'm trying to create a strip of "fake" lights (a bit like landing lights on an airstrip I guess) where one light at a time is "brighter" than the others.

I've tried creating a strip of lensflares and then altering the brightness in a script. This works great (except it looks disgusting)! I don't really want the lens/camera effects (I just really want the fake "light").

I tried creating a strip of billboard planes instead but I could not seem to mimic the "brightness" effect provided by the LensFlare component.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could achieve this? (Or a better approach?)

Thanks

 

You could make a poly strip and UV it. Add a texture sheet and try something like this here:

Great, thanks garyhaus.

I'll try it out.

 

I've just realised that it's possible to modify the settings used for a LensFlare component. I am thoroughly ashamed of myself.
