Title: Destroying ID's with radio
Post by: Binary on 06 Jul 2008, 14:49:57

Hello :)

I've tried doing quite a few searches so far - but haven't found a thread that answered my question accurately enough.
What I'm trying to do, is via a radio command, turn off the lights in a village. I'm trying to do this with triggers/gamelogics and the nearestObject command - but i keep running into syntax problems..
I supose this could be done via a script - but it needs to be MP compatible.

ID's of the lightposts:
67175
67305
67304
67245
67307
67306
67244
67308

Any thoughts on this would be great :)

ps note where it says name in the trigger ,,, if you type-  set off IED  or what ever you like in that box, it will be show on the radio, after you get the right code!

The object command doesn't work in ArmA, thus try:

Code: (radio trigger activation) [Select]

{([0, 0, 0] nearestObject _x) switchLight "ON"} forEach [1251,2003,28419,28420,28424,28664,32938,37326,66997,66998,67026,90863];

Simpy amazing Spooner  :good:

Although - switchLight "OFF" seemed to work better for killing the lights  :D

Problem solved, thanks a lot :)

I always miss the easy stuff like remembering you want to turn the lights off, not on ;P

You may also try this for a more generic solution:

For completeness, you could also check out the scripts accompanying this demomission (http://www.ofpec.com/FAQ/faq_obj.php#lights). It was made for OFP, but the principle is the same - get the classnames of all possible streetlamps and you can add a 'lightswitch' to them all.
