Fake lightning

Is it possible to turn OFF a dark box light, turn ON a light box light, then turn OFF the light box light, and turn ON the dark one, to make an effect that would look like lightning?

Just wondering before I start scripting it, dont want to waste time if it isn't possible. Thanks all! Big Grin

RE: Fake lightning

You could use FadeLightTo, coupled with some timers for one boxlight
OR
Use SetLightVisible, coupled with some timers, to activate and deactivate each boxlight.

RE: Fake lightning

I've never used those scripts, so would it be just a

SetLightVisible (true), Timer for 0.1f, SetLightVisible (false)?

----

EDIT: Any timer set under 1.0f does not seem to trigger, help?

JK, everything is working, just had to restart the game. Thanks Obv. + feeback for you good sir! Big Grin

RE: Fake lightning

You'd have more flexibility with the flickering feature of the lights.
