Is it possible to create a light which ca be switch on and off?

What I rigged up is a switch that opens a door in the ceiling with light in the cavity behind the door, but is tere an easier, better looking way?

Thanks

Yeah, it's possible. Just keep in mind that this light will "go through" walls, so don't put it too close to walls, ceilings, etc...

Create a script model and give the key/values:

key:targetname
value:mylight

key:model
value:fx/dummy.tik

put a switch in your map and give:

key:targetname
value:myswitch

and put a trigger use around the switch:

key: setthread
value:switchthread

Now, in your script file, put this above level waittill spawn:

//light off
$mylight light(1 1 1)
$mylight lightRadius 150
$mylight notsolid
level.lightswitch1=0
$mylight lightoff

and this, at the bottom:

//light thread
switchthread:
$myswitch anim turn
$myswitch anim waittill animdone
$myswitch anim on
$myswitch playsound click
$myswitch anim waittill animdone
if (level.lightswitch1==0 )
{
$mylight lighton
level.lightswitch1=1
}
else
{
$mylight lightoff
level.lightswitch1=0
}
wait .5
$myswitch anim off
end

Thanks, now, how do i get a switch that looks like a light switch? All I can find is that little round silver thing tht would be used in elevators and stuff...

The other one I know it's the static/equipment/alarmswitch...mohaa don't have nice switches...

You can make a script_object switch out of brushes. The little arm can then be made to rotate up and down in the script--kind of like a floor or ceiling hatch.

or jsut make the brushes around it and have a rotatingdoor for the switch without sound and a setthtread value....
