Title: Event Handlers questions.
Post by: ofp..hahha on 01 Dec 2002, 22:23:23

Ok guys for a long time now people havent known about using event handlers in there cpp but i would like to know how to use them and maybe start a sticky for a compilation of them for other people to use. I would like a Example or some input on a event handler for damage like in the ah-1 cobra how the light blinks and the sound goes off when you are damaged so please put what you know about this and snippets in this topic.

It's described in the official comref (Item Scripting Topics).

Let the event handler of your choice (init, killed etc. (comref)) invoke the setObjectTexture statement, to toggle the textures for simulating blinking lights (see the position lights on the jpg of the template craft). For night effects, do use the proper vetices lightning.
