it doesn't work.

and be warned - this switchlight "on" seems to light up the lamp just fine, until i preview again and then ofp crashes to desktop.

i'd be interested to hear the result of this...

IMO switchlight is only intended for streetlights embedded in .wrp files.

When used on lights that are placed in the editor, the light source usually appears half way up {or half way down, depends how you look at it :)) the light model.

And then of course it also causes a CTD if previewed more than once.
