How to put a de/activable picture in-game ?

[narutohokager]

Hello !

I created a little "creepy-face" and i want to put it in-game and have the possibility to disable or enable this "creepy-face".

Already tested the "decal method" but i can't deactivate it

Thanks in advance if you can help me !

Create a custom lamp.
Make the mesh invisble.
Apply the picture as a billboard.

Thanks for answering everyone !

Going to test Daemian first :

- So i create a billboard in the Level Editor and i choose my picture in "Material File" ?
- How do i attach the point light to the billboard ? CTRL + J ?

Oh okay i managed to attach it to the lamp and it's working ! But my picture is like "transparent"... Some way to fix this ? :/

I think in the LE you can't see it when it's attached to a light. But in-game it's visible.
You gotta set the light off at OnStart() with SetLightVisible.
Then you turn it on/off whenever you want.
