my memory is very poor but i do remember a tutorial on this somewhere....

i think he used fx_dummy and assinged light to it or something and turned it the light value up and down thru script, made it nice n random too..

cant remember for the life of me where the tut is but its there somewhere

In test_pointer map created by TLTrude in top of searching light have a red "thing" with a corona and light blinking.

Not is possible separate only part of map and explain (simply if i get copy and past objects and get script, he work, but i dont understand the process !!!!)

I can learn, dont copy and paste

English help for mcunha98:

he = man
she = woman
it = thing (like a tutorial or a script).

Example: "I know this tutorial, it is very good...".

--------------------------------------------

red_light:

$lh_red_light show //show the red corona
$lh_clight_on show //show the cage light that looks like it is on (script_model, lightbulb_caged_red-lit.tik)
$lh_clight_off hide //hide the cage light that looks like it is off (script_model, lightbulb_caged_red.tik)
$lh_dlight light 1 .2 .1 80 // dynamic light - red, green, blue, size (script_model, fx/dummy.tik)
wait 2
$lh_red_light hide //hide the red corona
$lh_clight_on hide //hide the red cage light that looks like it is on
$lh_clight_off show //show the red cage light that looks like it is off
$lh_dlight light 0 0 0 0 // dynamic light - red, green, blue, size
wait 2
goto red_light //do it again

end

Thanks, i not a "specialist" in english, i learn without teather...

Well, you write

red_light:
$lh_red_light show //show the red corona
$lh_clight_on show //show the cage light that looks like it is on (script_model, lightbulb_caged_red-lit.tik)
$lh_clight_off hide //hide the cage light that looks like it is off (script_model, lightbulb_caged_red.tik)
$lh_dlight light 1 .2 .1 80 // dynamic light - red, green, blue, size (script_model, fx/dummy.tik)
wait 2
$lh_red_light hide //hide the red corona
$lh_clight_on hide //hide the red cage light that looks like it is on
$lh_clight_off show //show the red cage light that looks like it is off
$lh_dlight light 0 0 0 0 // dynamic light - red, green, blue, size
wait 2
goto red_light //do it again

To i understand, the $lh_red_light its a simple static -> lamp -> light-bulb-caged-red model with a TARGETNAME have the value lh_reg_light or its a script model or another object ???

I understand your line of work, wait 2 seconds into a loop having a sequence of commands, show / hide.

model or object,since its a model of somthing,probally use script_model.

O modelo ou objeto, desde que seu um modelo de somthing, script_model de uso de probally.

correct language i hope

In true dont translate correctly (no is possible understand).
But i read and understand the english text, i try using a script_model.

The corona, "classname fx_corona_red" is not a script model. It is scaled up to 6, but it is a normal model with the targetname "lh_red_light".
