LightOff

Description: Turns off the headlights of an empty vehicle. If the vehicle is AI-controlled (either as the lone driver, or as the commander/gunner) then the light status depends on the AI's behaviour mode ("combat" or "stealth" = lights off, any other mode = lights on).

Syntax: unit action ["lightOff", targetVehicle]

Where unit is any unit (no action animation is performed) and targetVehicle is a vehicle with lights.

Example: player action ["lightOff", vehicle player];

LightOn

Description: Turns on the headlights of an empty vehicle. If vehicle is AI-controlled, see notes under the LightOff action.

Syntax: unit action ["lightOn", targetVehicle]

Where unit is any unit (no action animation is performed) and targetVehicle is a vehicle with lights.

Example: player action ["lightOn", spotLight];

Thanks Jim, I was almost right. I was putting in the vehicle init this action [lightOff, car1];

I didn't even think about setting the gunner as stealth or combat.

Thanks again, I will try it out soon

Hi Jim, nothing works. The empty vehicle with the ai gunner in still has lights on even thou the ai is set to stealth or combat & this action ["lightOff", jackal1]; is in the vehicle's init.
