Toggle Cabin Light SOLVED

[wogz187 1086]

May I have some help to compile this script,

 

if (Plight == 0) then {
    playSound ["click", true];
cockpit = playerJET;
CPlight = "#lightpoint" createVehicle [0,0,0];
    CPlight setLightBrightness 0.1;

    CPLight setLightAmbient [0.0, 1.0, 0.0];

    CPlight setLightColor [0.0, 1.0, 0.0];
CPlight attachTo [cockpit, [0,5,-0.5], "vez"];  
    addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {
        CPlight setVectorDirAndUp [
        (cockpit selectionPosition "pohon") vectorFromTo (cockpit selectionPosition "otochlaven"), 
        [0,0,1];
    Plight=1;
    ];
}];
    }
else {
    deletevehicle CPlight;
    Plight=0;
};

It reports "Missing ]" but I don't know where it is. Before the "else", likely.

Thanks!

You got Plight = 1; inside the setVectorDirAndUp, messing up the syntax.

@Grumpy Old Man, @sarogahtyp,

thanks, this works,

 

CabLight.sqf

if (Plight == 0) then {
playSound ["click", true];
cockpit = playerJET;
CPlight = "#lightpoint" createVehicle [0,0,0];
    CPlight setLightBrightness 0.1;

    CPLight setLightAmbient [0.0, 1.0, 0.0];

    CPlight setLightColor [0.0, 1.0, 0.0];
    CPlight attachTo [cockpit, [0,5,-0.5], "vez"];  
    
    addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {
    CPlight setVectorDirAndUp [
        (cockpit selectionPosition "pohon") vectorFromTo (cockpit selectionPosition "otochlaven"),[0,0,1]
    ];
}];
    plight=1;
    }
else {
    deletevehicle CPlight;
    Plight=0;
};

Connected to a GUI button to toggle,
 

    action = "_nil=[]ExecVM ""CABlight.sqf""";

Actually it works really, really great!
Thanks!

Eh, 
Almost solved. The light still changes position (forward) when the vehicle is in motion and blinks like crazy. Interestingly, the visual effect it has looks like hitting warp speed into a green aurora borealis. The LightPoint will not keep up with the EH or the light properties make it go crazy. Removing light ambient, maybe?

This following script works but doesn't allow customizing the light source and it kind of feels like duct-taping a lantern onto the jet. But it does work.
 

CabLight.sqf

 

if (Plight == 0) then {
    playSound ["click", true];
cockpit = playerJET;
CPlight = "Land_PortableLight_single_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
    CPlight attachTo [cockpit, [0,7,-1], "vez"];  
    
    addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {
    CPlight setVectorDirAndUp [
        (cockpit selectionPosition "pohon") vectorFromTo (cockpit selectionPosition "vez"),[0,0,0]
    ];
}];
    plight=1;
    }
else {
    deletevehicle CPlight;
    Plight=0;
};
