Empty Vehicle with Lights On?

[SG_Smokintodd 0]

I've tried using this in the init of an empty vehicle:

this setBehaviour "SAFE"; player action ["lightOn", this];

The lights are on in the Editor (preview) but when I publish the mission as an MP mission and run it, the lights on the vehicle are off.

Any help appreciated.

Not sure if this will work in MP but...

Stick down a game logic (under units)

Call it Bob.

In the init of Bob.

Bob Action ["lightOn", carnamehere]

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Don't even see the lights on when previewing the mission.

Thanks for the help anyway.

Think you did somthing wrong there SG_Smokintodd because i did exactly as Magicpanda said and it works in SP and MP

Init of an empty Hunter of this:

player action["lighton", this];

ended up with the lights being on when the mission started in the editor.

So, if I want to do this with multiple vehicles, do I need a seperate 'game logic' for each one?

Just one actually! Using a trick from Larrow, place a GameLogic down with this init:

{this action["lighton", _x]} forEach synchronizedObjects this;

Then synchronize (F5) each vehicle with that single GameLogic.

Worked like a charm. Thanks.
