Hi, I have the mesh, but I don't know how to do it works. I think to load 3 mesh (each with red on, others off, yellow on, others off and green on, others off), hide the meshes that I don't occupy, then, I am hiding and discovering for cycle since I need. But I don't know how to write the code (times on and off). Any suggestion will be valued well. Thank in advance

I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking, but I assume you mean this:

You have a 3D model of a traffic light. You want the lights to change red green orange red green orange...etc.

I think rather than hiding/showing 3 different big meshes, load one traffic light sans any bulbs and 1 small lightbulb mesh per light (ie the traffic light body is seperate from the 3 bulbs). Then simply swap textures on each bulb's meshes. Make the two Off ones a dark-coloured version of your texture for that colour and make On one the light coloured version.

You could do something like a timer . Have a look.

Yees, Cheers!, your code works very fine. I made the adjustments to what I'm going programming and is perfect. If I want to work five objects in the street, remember that the green light turns on in sequence as I go along, should you have any idea as to modify the code to work that way? Thanks for your help, really.

You can add as many traffic lights as you need, but all of them have to operates with the timer.
