Theres two ways, you can use a texture you've made yourself or use the animated texture script "glow"

put it on a sign or an alpha pine tree depending on the look you want

place the prop

then set the texture translucent - do not leave it at 0, the value has to between 1-255

check no z buffer

depending on what is around it, you might need to play with the render priorities of your glow or of the props around it.

If you're still lost, let me know and I'll post some screens on how i do it. There's other ways, this is just how i do it.

It helps to hit CTRL + F, then a lil' window pops up, type in what you are looking for like - lighting/bubbles/steam/ textures etc. it will automatically find the words you typed in for you!

But definitely watch siren's video like Dusty suggested, there's more than just info about lighting in there, good tips on shadows too!
