Destroying ID's with radio
« 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 :)

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. 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.
