Okay, I am trying to trigger an alarm light with one trigger zone and shutting it off with another. Now the actual light on or off using the standard lightoff.fpi works just fine, so actually triggering the light is not my problem.

My issue is trying to have the script make the light flash while it is turned on. Heres the code I'm trying to use for this:

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:state=4
:state=1,activated=1:timerstart,state=2
:state=2:lighton
:state=2,timergreater=1250:timerstart,state=2
:state=3:lightoff
:state=3,timergreater=500:timerstart,state=4
:state=4,activated=0:lightoff,state=1

Now I should say that my scripting abilities are limited. So, ya I'm sure the above is atrocious. I hoping that perhaps one of you on here might be able to help me with this. thanks in advance.

You are stuck in state=2

Try this

+ Code Snippet



;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Conjured Header

desc          = Light Flash

;Triggers

:state=0,activated=1:timerstart,lighton,state=1

:state=1,timergreater=1250:timerstart,lightoff,state=2
:state=1,activated=0:lightoff,state=0

:state=2,timergreater=500:timerstart,lighton,state=1

;End Script

And don't forget the sound for the alarm...

+ Code Snippet



;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Conjured Header

desc          = Light Flash With Alarm

;Triggers

:state=0,activated=1:timerstart,lighton,loopsound=audiobank\atmos\alarmhum.wav,state=1

:state=1,timergreater=1250:timerstart,lightoff,state=2
:state=1,activated=0:stopsound,lightoff,state=0

:state=2,timergreater=500:timerstart,lighton,state=1

;End Script

Ha, so I was wow. And thanks for the script, though how do you have it default as off. I'm wanting to use one trigger to turn on the alarm and the other to shut it off. And the above script you gave starts on (though it can be toggled with a switch, which is a dramatic improvement over what I had before

)

Again thanks for the help.

Edit: Never mind I got the script you posted to work with a few changes, now it works like a charm. Thanks

:state=0,activated=0:stopsound,lightoff,state=0

:state=1,timergreater=1000:timerstart,lightoff,state=2

:state=2,timergreater=500:timerstart,lighton,state=0

Trying to at least, For some reason I'm having a bit of a hard time grasping it. Which is odd since I write .net programs for work ... you'd think I'd be fine. oh well, can't win em all right
