Light on/off

[Justine67 1]

Hello,

 

I want to put an execVM with (r,g,b) as argument in the init of 30-40 wall lights,

 

Wich would add an addaction ON and then OFF.

 

 

Here's a little part of code, without argument. Also deleting the light doesn't work

 

ON :

 

_object = _this select 0;
_r =

_g =

_b =

_h = getPosATL _object;
removeallactions _object;

_nom = "#lightpoint" createVehicle position _object;
_nom setposATL _h;
_nom lightAttachObject [_object, [-0,0,0]];
_nom setLightColor [_r,_g,_b];
_nom setLightAmbient [_r,_g,_b];
_nom setLightBrightness 0.12;

_rendre = _object addAction ["<t color='#2EFE64'>Eteindre.</t>",{0 = [this] execVM "off.sqf"}];
 

 

OFF

 

_object = _this select 0;

removeallactions _object;

//{deleteVehicle _x} forEach nearestObjects [_object, ["#lightpoint"], 1]; ///DOESN'T WORK AT ALL

//{deleteVehicle _x} forEach (position player) nearEntities [["lightpoint"], 0.5];

_rendre = _object addAction ["<t color='#2EFE64'>Allumer.</t>",{0 = [this, RGB ARGUMENT ?] execVM "on.sqf"}];
 

 

 

Thx for reading this

Check this article: addAction.

 

Parameters array passed to the script upon activation in _this variable is: [target, caller, ID, arguments]

 

on.sqf will look like:

params ["_object", "", "_id", ["_args", [], [[]], [1,2]]];
_args params [["_rgb", [1,1,1], [[]], [3]], ["_br", 0.12, [0]]]; // defaults are white light with brightness 0.12
private ["_h", "_nom"]

_h = getPosATL _object;
_object removeAction _id;

_nom = "#lightpoint" createVehicle position _object;
_nom setposATL _h;
_nom lightAttachObject [_object, [-0,0,0]];
_nom setLightColor _rgb;
_nom setLightAmbient _rgb;
_nom setLightBrightness _br;

_object addAction ["<t color='#2EFE64'>Eteindre.</t>",{0 = _this execVM "off.sqf"}, [_nom, _rgb, _br]]; 

off.sqf:

params ["_object", "", "_id", ["_args", [], [[]], [1,2,3]]];
_args params [["_lightSource", objNull, [objNull]], ["_rgb", [1,1,1], [[]], [3]], ["_br", 0.12, [0]]];

_object removeAction _id;
deleteVehicle _lightSource;

_object addAction ["<t color='#2EFE64'>Allumer.</t>",{0 = _this execVM "on.sqf"}, [_rgb, _br]];

When you first add "On" action to object (ususally right after acreate),  specify light parameters manually:

_rendre = _object addAction ["<t color='#2EFE64'>Allumer.</t>",{0 = _this execVM "on.sqf"}, [[1,0.1,0.1], 0.2]]; // for red light

Later they will be kept in actions arguments. I also suggest you not use removeAllActions too much as it interferes with other actions being added to objects.

Thanks a lot !!! Everything work as I wanted, and the code is really good for my learning.

Okay, I have a problem as create lighpoint has only a local effect. Do you know how to make it MP compatible ? :)

Anybody ? :unsure: I use the same script, can't remember the author. Effect seems indeed to be only local
