Light particles

[VonNexus 10]

Hi fellows editor,

basically , while replaying OA campaign, I saw a mission where , inside a C130J, there is a red light which then turns to green ( the mission I am speaking of should be the last, where a HALO jump is featured. Now, I know that things like smoke, fire and light are classidicated as particles stored in some files in the installation path. Basically, how do I put a particle ( in my case I need the red and green light) into a vehicle? Thanks in advice.

Pere the Biki article:

Light can be created with command createVehicle with special vehicle class "#lightpoint"

for example:

 
_light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal pos; 
_light setLightBrightness 1.0; 
_light setLightAmbient[0.0, 1.0, 0.0]; 
_light setLightColor[0.0, 1.0, 0.0]; 
_light lightAttachObject [_object, [0,0,0]]

Where ist this supposed to be written?

You would need to add an external script or insert it into a unit line line. Here are some related threads that explore how to do it more deeply:

It specifies locations, colors, etc.

OK, the code for red light is OK. I checked setLightColor page, but still didn't figure out about changing light color. Could anyone post the code for green light?

setLightColor[0.0, 0.0, 0.0];

The values are Red, Green, blue. Just play around with them until the hue is right.
