problem with setLightColor

[pyro05x 0]

here's my error message:

Quote[/b] ]'...

light42 setLightBrightness 0;

light00 |#|setLightColor _col;

light10 setLightColo...'

Error setlightcolor: Type Number, expected Array

File mpmissions\__cur_mp.Sara\setLights.sqf, line 47

my init.sqf calls this script:

setLights.sqf

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">private ["_col","_amb"];

_col = [.5, .5, .5];

_amb = [.1, .1, .1];

if (local server) then

{

lightCoord = compile loadFile "lightCoord.sqf";

light00 = "#lightpoint" createVehicle ([0,0] call lightCoord);

light10 = "#lightpoint" createVehicle ([1,0] call lightCoord);

...

light42 = "#lightpoint" createVehicle ([4,2] call lightCoord);

};

sleep 5;

light00 setLightBrightness 0;

light10 setLightBrightness 0;

...

light42 setLightBrightness 0;

light00 setLightColor _col; // line 47

light10 setLightColor _col;

...

i don't understand this. _col is clearly defined as an array. i need some help figuring this one out.

any help greatly appreciated

turns out i just had to put it down for awhile. i loaded it up later and noticed this:

lightCoord.sqf

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_row = _this select 0;

_col = _this select 1;

_x = 18197.2 + (10.06540045465111*cos(10))*_row + (6.0463683521595335*cos(100))*_col;

_y = 18180.8 + (10.06540045465111*sin(10))*_row + (6.0463683521595335*sin(100))*_col;

_return = [_x,_y,7];

_return

turns out that it had nothing to do with the object, but the function. _col was shared among both files because _col had 2 different meanings; color and column. i simply forgot to add this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">private ["_row","_col","_x","_y","_return"];

in theory, this should fix it. if not, i'll have to recycle my variables, _x and _y.
