This'll scale it to work with any object.  Try the test anim and you'll see what
I mean.  The normal way to hide a LF behind a object just makes the LF a actual
object in the scene.  Depending on which Mask method you use, the LF will scale,
and be the brightness dependent on the amount of Distribution and whether or not
the LF location is behind the declared object.

Here, try this.  Put one of your TIE Fighters infront of a LF and slowly move it
out of the way.

Science is merely a method of gathering data and information.
Science *cannot* prove facts.
It can only provide theories that fit given data.
Technology is merely Science applied to common situations.
Technology is used for both good and evil.
Society is a framework mostly dependent on the willing participation of it
subjects.
Kingdoms and dominions come and go, none are eternal.
In the end, Society, Technology, and Science do not matter.  Only the actions
and choices of the individual will matter. <><
