Streetlamps

[dkraver 1]

What do i write in ini field to have a streetlamp turned on

[Mercutio 0]

"this InFlame true". That should to the trick.

Thought that only worked for fires, how would you place, or light a streetlight?

For a fire I'd place it as a unit and then in the init field type the - this inflame true - statement. How does it work for fixed lights?

Cheers!

Well it didnt work so help still needed

Fenris, you have download them, it was an addon they used to have at OFP Ed Center. It may be in Kegetys object files now. Otherwise, I dunno where you can get it.

Raver, I'm gonna try it now and get back 2 u.

[Maldita Vecindad 1]

you need the kegetys & Armourdave addon.....

That addon includes new lamps (not the ones that come with the gunslinger's editor). that let you turn them on.

Check the read me at the addon or go to: www.ofpeditingcenter. for more help.

The commands that work with the streetlights are lightIsOn and switchLight.

Ex:

? lightIsOn nearestObject [player, "StreetLamp"] == "OFF"

nearestObject [player, "StreetLamp"] switchLight "OFF"

This is as described in the official command reference.

BTW, changing the lamp state in-game is a little slow, so give it a minute if the light doesn't turn on instantly.

DKraver,

Whats your email address?

I'll send them to you.

I think there's three kinds: streetlamp-white, red, and green.

[dkraver 1]

planeshifter i tried both and nothing works. The line with lightison says there are missing = and with other one nothing happends at all.

If you're talking about street lamps that are there already, they are set to 'Auto' they have a light sensetive diode, that automatically turns the light on when it goes dark.

If you want to explicitly turn on/off a lamp post, create a 'Game Logic' object near the lamp post and in it's init field, place: (copied from command reference)

nearestObject [player, "StreetLamp"] switchLight "Off"

this turns the nearest lamp post off.

Change "Off" to "On" to turn it back on.

Methinks this is the kind of thing that the Game Logic is for - for executing commands and scripts as soon as the mission starts, rather than using a trigger with some wierd way of automatically setting it off...

Game logic is used mainly to determine the server computer -- if the game logic unit is local, then the computer is the server.

To make a trigger that goes off at the start of the mission, set its condition to "true".

BTW, the streetlight will appear off during the day, no matter what. There is no way (that I know of) to make a streetlight appear to be on during daylight hours.
