Making an energy sword glow

[EchoRanger449]

Now I want that third person glow for first person. I've got the model and the animation trigger. However, there is no possible way, as far as I know, to add that effect onto the sword.

However, using Halo CE to edit the sword's tags might do it.
If I used CE (which I would extract the tags to pc) to make the tags, I'm sure I could add that effect on there, but I don't know how.
Also, if I could add the animation of the sword's "detonation explosion" effect (in reverse) for whenever I switch to the sword, that'd be great. I think it's possible. Does anyone else know how to do that?

Finally, not necessary, but if possible, I'd like to know how to create a lunge for the energy sword. I know that the sword's firing action "turns you into a projectile" when you lunge.


I'd use Doc Octavius' tags, which are a lot better, but...

those tags are for Halo CE only, not for use with Halo PC. Sorry!
