I wrote these short scripts, which will give you alternating, flashing lights for a Police Car entity. To set them up, all you do is assign one script to a blue, dynamic light, and the other to a red, dynamic light, and set the light ranges to 250-ish.

Thanks guys. Here's slightly modified versions of the 2 scripts, that I use in my game;





They give 2 very quick flashes between pauses, and look more like modern Police Lights IMO.

I've attached a sample .fpm file to show you the modified scripts in action.

Interesting. I always just used the GravityZone script for my flashing lights. They seemed to do the job.

If it's the one that uses variables to make a light fade in and out, that's no good for what I was wanting. I was wanting a light that flashed on and off, with no fading...

Sorry to bump this thread some, but I had a question.

Where would I put the flashing light on the police car or on the light it self?

Also on the latest one that has the mapbank file do I need that one?

(Sorry im new to this and trying to learn)

Place the tops of the light markers just above the blue and red lights on your police car model (assuming it has blue and red, although it doesn't really matter, as long as your light markers match your model's colours).

Assign one of the scripts to each light marker and robert's your mother's brother...

You don't really need the .fpm file, it was just included as an example to show the lights in action...

Hope that helps, and glad to see people finding some use for the scripts
