I have wall/ceiling lights in my levels that can all be smashed, and I put in Dynamic lights to save time. Is there a script that once the wall light is destroyed, the actual bright light also dissappears. I know there is that destroyandactivate.fpi script, but how should I adapt it to be destroyanddeactivate

<insert pun here> I really must get round to this

Hmmmmmm.......well, I am just adding a comment, as I know nothing on scripting!

Making a Splinter Cell type game could be nice. But, are you asking this so you can use the dark and the light to your advantage, or your enemies' advantage, right? The light/shadows interpretion (dunno if it's spelled right) depends on gameplay. If you're making an all-out warfare game, then have shadows hiding guns, ammo, objectives, and the like. But in a spy game, the light is your natural enemy, and the shadows conceal you. Shooting out a light produces noise though, so I'd advise you not to carry a Deagle in. Take a suppresed gun, or by any chance, a glass bottle.

Breaking glass DOES make a noise though, so be cautious. If an enemy's nearby, dispose of him, then move on.

I hope this good advice helps.

AI, out.

You're on the right track. Just use the destroyandactivate.fpi for the dynamic light fixture, and in the If Used portion of that fixture put the name of the dynamic light you want to go off when the fixture is destroyed. Don't change the script for the light, only the fixture.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

I have an Idea. You could put a switch out of reach and sight and use the destroyandactivate.fpi script to activate it. I have no idea if it'll work but give it a shot.

Why don't you just do what xplosys said?That sounds much easier.

Yes, it works. Explosys's method is the best one to use, but the ultimate gamers solution works too though.
Thanks guys.
