Turn off blinking lights.

[andersson 285]

Is it possible to turn off the red blinking lights ontop of high strukturs such as masts and watertowers? Switchlight doesnt work.

I haven't tested but you could test if you can affect it with different damage values by using setDamage scripting command.

No, it didnt work. But thank you for the suggestion!

I doubt it is possible unfortunately.

The light's properties are defined in it's config, with the location being a named point in the model (i think, p3ds are not my thing). Markerlights seem to work unless the object is destroyed.

It would be possible to easily make a config only addon without any lights, but that's a hassle.

Example of the radio tower's config (buildings.pbo)

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

class Land_Vysilac_FM : House {

scope = protected;

armor = 150;

destrType = "DestructBuilding";

ladders[] = {{"start", "end"}};

model = "\ca\buildings\Vysilac_FM";

class MarkerLights {

class RedBlinking {

name = "cerveny pozicni blik";

color[] = {1.0, 0.1, 0.1, 1};

ambient[] = {0.1, 0.01, 0.01, 1};

brightness = 0.01;

blinking = true;

};

};

class Destruction {

animations[] = {{"ca\buildings\rtm\vysilac_fm.rtm", 0.5, 3}};

};

displayName = $STR_DN_RADAR1;

};

Have you tried using switchlight?

I think the comand was meant for lamposts but might work with other objects (that are part of the map).

switchLight does not work, and lightIsOn always returns false.

I made a small addon where I disabled the lights, quick and easy. But the texture is still red when the light is gone so its in the model also......... And as its OLOD I cant do anything about it.

So my solution is to put a small concret block (the small on the side of the roads) and setpos it to cover that red lamp. Unfortunately I couldnt do it with default radar-mast as the light shines through so I still need my small addon....

If you know the selection name in the OLOD model, you can remove the selection using a Hide animation in the model.cfg file.

Ahhh!!! I must investigate that, thank you UNN!

edit: I thought that I was more into editing, but what/where is a model.cfg file? And I cannot find any information on "Hide animation" here or at ofpec...

Sorry UNN, can you give some help where to look?

You dont mean hiddenSelections[]?
