Turn lights off

[Onto 2]

Hi,

I wanted to turn off the lights in my custom base I made in the editor.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/switchLight

In ArmA3 this command is broken [1], use setHit instead:

_lamp = nearestObject [player, "Lamps_base_F"];

_lamp setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0.97]; //off

_lamp setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0]; //on

I added a generator in the editor with this Init-Line:

bul7 addAction ["Turn lights in base off", "lampdir180 sethit ('light_1_hitpoint', 0.97)"];

I want to add an Action where I can turn of the lights.

bul7 is the generator.

lampdir180 is the name of the light.

When I preview the map or try to use the addAcation I get this error:

I have no clue where the missing ) is.

Can you help me guys?

Thank you :)

Try this :

bul7 addAction ["Turn lights in base off", {lampdir180 sethit ['light_1_hitpoint', 0.97]}];

Awesome! Thx the error is gone.

Now I faced the problem that the sethit command didn't work out.

So I tried to setdamage and it worked.

To clear some things up for people with simular problems:

I placed a object in the editor with the init:

LB1= "Land_LampHalogen_F" createVehicle position this; deleteVehicle this; LB1 allowDamage false; LB1 setdir 180;

"Land_LampHalogen_F" is the lamp. I've got the classname from the configviewer.

Then I placed the generator (with name bul7) where I wanted to add the Action to turn off/on lights with the init:

bul7 setdir 0; bul7 addAction ["Turn lights in base off", "LB1 setDamage 0.95"];

bul7 addAction ["Turn lights in base on", "LB1 setDamage 0.00"];

I set "LB1 allowDamage false" to the lamp because it only has 0.05 damage left and I don't want that the lamp gets destroyed by looking at it. It doesn't interfere with the setDamage.
