Title: Lights in humvee to flicker
Post by: snoopy22 on 26 Nov 2007, 23:48:34: How do you get the headlights in a Humvee to flicker, when you have a game logic in it. I checked the search tool which led me to a script, which I still dont understand what to do:

Code: [Select]
while {true} do { logic setBehaviour "safe"; // Lights won't stay on unless "safe" or "careless" humvee action ["LIGHTON", humvee]; sleep 1; logic setBehavior "combat"; // Lights won't stay off if "safe" or "careless" humvee action ["LIGHTOFF", humvee]; sleep 1; };
Try searching for "LIGHTON" and "LIGHTOFF" (I know, searching never helps unless you know what exactly to search for) and there seem to be several discussions about lights, but not specifically about flickering.

This is how I accomplished it. Right back to basics here :D
Code: [Select]
truck setbehaviour "careless" ~0.6 truck setbehaviour "stealth" ~0.6 truck setbehaviour "careless" ~0.6 truck setbehaviour "stealth" ~0.6 truck setbehaviour "careless" ~0.6 truck setbehaviour "stealth" ~0.6 exitI'm not sure what the effect would be like with a smaller time delay. It did create a nice strobe effect though.
