Set object damage with addaction and timer ?

[ALPHIVE 14]

I everybody,

 

I would make an addaction system for my hangar with spinning light from "mounted device" object

I know that with projectors, if i set damage to 0.2 if i remember correclty, it turns off the light

 

 

So, 

 

I wanted make an addaction on computer that activate the spinning light of the mounted device, while 30 seconds, and after it comes back to its initial state

 

How can i do this ?

If there is no command for this, how can i set damage on this object while 30 second, and after comes back to initial no damage state ?

 

 

Thabk you by advance

@ALPHIVE,

I'm not 100% sure what we're doing but this function should help you figure it out,

Spoiler

you_fnc_lightThingy=
{    params [["_caller", objNULL], ["_on", false]];
if (_on) then {
        _caller setdamage 0.2; //do damage
        sleep 30;
        _caller setdamage 0;    //fix damage
        [_caller, true]spawn you_fnc_lightThingy; //repeat
        } else {
    _caller setDamage 0;
    };
};

// call with: [object, true] spawn you_fnc_lightThingy;

 

Call this on your object to start a 30 second cycle of damage/repair.

setDamage

oops, we forgot the addAction/hold addAction

Spoiler

lightThing=[ player, "Enable Light Thing", 
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa", 
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa", 
"alive player", "alive object", {}, {}, {

	[object, true] spawn you_fnc_lightThingy;
    
}, {}, [], 2, 0, false, true] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;

// be sure to configure the name for "object"

 

Have fun!

switchLight will probably work in this case

@killzone_kid thank you it works with trigger, but i have an issue that i do not understand when i pass through addaction

 

I placed a "mobile device" (with the spinning light) named alarmgyro and a computer. In the computer init i past following code :

 

this addAction["ALARM ON", alarmgyro1 switchLight "ON"];
this addAction["ALARM OFF", alarmgyro1 switchLight "OFF"];

 

And when i test, the light is already off, and i can not activate it, why ?

Is there a way to use addaction to active/deactivate light simply ?

addAction takes either code or string as second param on right hand side, you pass neither. Read the documentation for it.
