I'm a complete noob to mission/script editing and even I didn't get confused about who originally wrote it (thanks Blanco).
I also appreciate that someone took the time to add the extra notes in regards on how they might get it to work ...ala Satexas69. Stuff like that helps us new to editing while doing a Search for relevant information.
So Satexas worded his post wrong, at least he got it right in the "code sample" which IMO is where it really counts.
Anyway, I got the searchlights to somewhat function using GAMELOGIC Triggers and a DoWatch script that I found elsewhere (no, I didn't write and take no credit at all for it).
