Post by: Jester on 27 Jan 2003, 15:12:39

Hum... try a script. At the Activ. field it's not allowed to use time delay; at least in version 1.00.

better this way:

this exec "inflame.sqs"

----

~5
_this inflame true :)

So if I wanted a line of streetlamps along a road light up
bing
bing
bing
bing

I could script it

~2
L1 this inflame true

~4
L2 this inflame true

~6
L3 this inflame true

~8
L4 this inflame true

Was thinking of a runway lighting up ..............

Yes Mate, However a script is read from top to bottom like a book! So your time gaps would be:

Code: [Select]

~2 (wait 2 seconds)

do this

~2 (wait 2 seconds)

do this

~2 (wait 2 seconds)

You don't need to increse the numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8.

Sounds :P good

Another thing is that you used th wrong syntax:

L1 this inflame true

Will cause an error. The correct syntax is:

L1 inflame true

This represents the actual lamp in it's init field. Outside the init field it's not defined.
