And where did you find any street light there? Was checking several towns and cities (3:30 am), not a single lightpost in any of them  :blink:

Give the name of a town and the placement of them so I can locate them. May be there are too few, may be they are too weak, but the case is that I'm missing them (except a few quite weak ones over bridges).

Corazol has them, just past the building past the first bridge if you enter for the south's side.

Check the FAQ here (http://www.ofpec.com/FAQ/faq_obj.php#lights). Should still apply to ArmA.

Code: [Select]

// lightsoff.sqf
_pos    = _this select 0;
_range = _this select 1;

// Add more types if needed
_types = ["Land_lampa_vysoka", "Land_lampa_ind", "Land_lampa_ind_b", "Land_lampa_sidl", "Land_lampa_ind_zebr"];
for [{_i=0},{_i < (count _types)},{_i=_i+1}] do
{
   _lamps = _pos nearObjects [_types select _i, _range];
   Sleep 1;
   {_x switchLight "OFF"} forEach _lamps;
};

For example:

Code: [Select]

res=[getPos player, 3000]execVM"lightsoff.sqf"
