On/Off Lights

[*GCC*Nigel]

Is there a way you can turn off all the lights on a map then after 10 seconds or so, they turn back on automatically, maybe flicker once or twice? In the map, you're turning off a generator in a bunker, then the Idea is the auxilery starts up afterwards. Then you go turn that off and your doused in pitch black except for red emergency lights which need to turn on after the second generator is turned off/destroyed.

Well, I dont know how much scripting you know, But give the lights targetnames like bunker_light.

//script
$bunker_light turnon
//
//script
//
$bunker_light turnoff
//script

you may want to script the light completely.

This puts a light in the dark basement of the center house in banhoff. there are two switches - one above and one below. they turn the light on revealing anyone that may be hiding in the dark.

They stay on for a short while then switch off.

Code: Select all

shedlight:
	local.lite = spawn script_model model "fx/dummy.tik" "targetname" "hello"
	local.lite.origin = ( -2785 1900 -170 ) // coordinates 
	local.lite light 1 1 1 300 // last number is how big it is, ( 1 1 1 is white light). 
	$hello hide

	local.ltsw1 = spawn trigger_use
	local.ltsw1.origin = ( -2644 1502 -333 )
	local.ltsw1 setsize ( -10 -10 -20 ) ( 10 10 20 )
	local.ltsw1 targetname litsw

	local.static1 = spawn script_model
	local.static1 model "static/switch1.tik"
	local.static1.origin = ( -2644 1502 -333 ) 
	local.static1.angles = ( 0 -90 0 )

	local.ltsw2 = spawn trigger_use
	local.ltsw2.origin = ( -3135 1972 -61 )
	local.ltsw2 setsize ( -10 -10 -20 ) ( 10 10 20 )
	local.ltsw2 targetname litsw2

	local.static2 = spawn script_model
	local.static2 model "static/switch1.tik"
	local.static2.origin = ( -3135 1972 -61 ) 
	local.static2.angles = ( 0 0 0 )

	thread togglelights
	thread togglelights2
