HI,
I have recently been learning scripting and this is the first script I have attempted from scratch.



The idea is for the script to activate the ifused condition on a timer. The ifused field is then given the name of the light to turn the light on and off. I have tested the timer with lighton/lightoff actions applying the script directly to the light. this works fine. The final script will then be applied to an alarm entity.

My problem is that when I run this script the light just stays constantly on.

I am sure this is probably just a stupid newb problem but I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for your help,
SSP

Your script would work if the Light reset it's activation value to 0 each time and always used an activation of "1" to swap between on and off... so unless you did that, it's not going to work.

The way the stock light scripts work is you activate it with a "1" to turn it on and then activate it with a "0" to turn it off. Your script uses "1" both times, so that's why it always stays on.


The one and only,

Thanks a lot Plystire!

I learned the scripting from your tutorials. 10/10! Nice work.

I changed the script accordingly to your instructions. However it seems I have another problem now. When I apply the new script to an object it flashes correctly. However, it only works while the player is in someway moving. And flashes faster if the player moves faster. Also when I applied it to my Alarm object the light lit up the whole room. When I applied it to the danger sign(stock) it only lit up the sign.

I am leaving all the light setting default apart from making it dynamic. And all the entity settings default apart from main script and IFUSED.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
