help Simple hide/unhide animation

[SexyCake 0]

I am trying to make a static object that blinks, it's basically a shape with a high emissive rvmat assign and another shape that is behind the high emissive shape that only has a simple texture. My goal is to hide and unhide every X seconds/frame the high emissive shape in other to make a blinking "light".

 

My p3d is composed by one resolution lod, with 2 named selections that are light_base (non emissive surface) and light (high emissive surface); and another geometry lod with mass and components set

 

The model itself works, only the hide and unhide part is missing.

class CfgSkeletons 
{
	class SimpleBlink_Skeleton
	{
		isDiscrete = 1;
		skeletonInherit = "";
		skeletonBones[] = 
		{
			"light", ""
		};
	};
};

class CfgModels
{
	class SimpleBlink
	{
		sectionsInherit="";
		sections[] = {};
		skeletonName = "SimpleBlink_Skeleton";

		class Animations
		{
			class Beacon1 
			{
				type = "Hide";
				selection = "light";
				source = "time";		
				animPeriod = 0;	
				sourceAddress = "loop";
				minValue = 0;
				maxValue = 1;
				hideValue = "0.5";	
			};
		};
	};
};
