I have searched forum and tried a few things I read and I can't get a basic light working.

I am trying to work it with a switch, the switch works but does not turn the light on or off. I am using light1 and script light1. For the switch I have lightswitch2 and for the script it is switch.fpi

I have tied a lot of different things and can't get the light to turn on and off. I have put light1 in the if used on the switch and also tried switch in the if used on the light, I have also turned the ambiance down to almost nothing but I can't see the light work!

Any help would be great!!!
Thanks

Is the light itself dynamic? Only dynamic entitys respond to scripts.

I meant to say that in my post yes it is and so is the switch. Only dynamic lights can be turned on and off and static lights are just for show?

Hey Dragon Slayer. Just a thought but are you using a light "Marker" or the Light1 entity from the scifi folder?

Make your light switch a dynamic entity and place it on the wall somewhere.

Make the light dynamic like some have said and make the main AI of the zone lightoff.fpi.

That should work. The lightoff.fpi script should be included with the stock of FPS Creator.

If not, here is the script.



Hope this helps! Have a good weekend and good luck.

Cheers and beers ,

this didn't work for me. I put the switch right under the light so I could see if it goes on and off and it does not.

In the switch properties I also put the name of the light in the if used like the tutorial in the community guide says. I also tried it before I changed any of the properties except changing it to dynamic.

Do this:

Place a switch.

In the ifUsed field type the name of your light (Keep it simple for example Light1)

Place a light, make sure it's dynamic.
Set the main script to "lightoff.fpi"

This should work, it did for me.

Make sure in the "Name" field of the light it says Light1

Hope this helped

I get you . You cannot use an entity or it will not work. You HAVE to use a light marker from the "Markers" tab. If you need the entity to be lit up, simply put the marker under the entity.
