Run an animation when another is started on when another is finish

[Tisor 17]

Hi all.

I'm trying to make some custom police stuff for a car. I know there is already some lightbars around, but cannot get access to them, so I cannot figure out how to do this.

I've got 3 selections showing different text:

By using the hide animation, I want to loop between ALTIS, POLICE, STOP!! while the blue lights on the sides are flashing.

Example of the work here:

First 2 seconds of this video:

But I want them to go automatic when an user action is do. When the user press "Raise panel", this appears from the trunk of the vehicle (Translation) and then start the loop of flashing lights and text. When they are done, the "Lower panel" and it turn off and go into the trunk again. But want them to be hard-coded in the model, and not in the mission.

What's the best way to do it? Is it possible to make an animation start at the same time that another?? (Would be interesting for some other projects)

Can anyone send me that Whelen Lightbar that's is around from Arma 2 Lifes mods?

Thanks in advance

Suspect a solution has something like this in it.

class Sign1
{
type="hide";
source = "time";
sourceAddress = "loop";
selection="Sign1";
minValue = 0; 
maxValue = 1;
hideValue = 0.33;
};
class Sign2
{
type="hide";
source = "time";
sourceAddress = "loop";
selection="Sign2";
minValue = 0; 
maxValue = 1;
hideValue = 0.66;
};
class Sign3
{
type="hide";
source = "time";
sourceAddress = "loop";
selection="Sign3";
minValue = 0; 
maxValue = 1;
hideValue = 0.99;
};

3 signs that are hidden 1 at a time.

3 signs would be sitting in front of each other in an order.

Hide the whole thing when you dont want the sign

Thanks Gnat, looking nice. Need to figure out how to make some things like the flashing blue lights but with this shouldn't be that hard.
