Hey gusy, got a light hooked up to the electric_light KVP all working well, but obviously the light has to come from somewhere. Is there a way to change the lights model depending on the electric state and for extra credit, can I turn on and off an info_corona at the same time. Cheers all

Try this ( not tested, but code comes from a few functions below in the _lights.csc so it should work ):

Make the models a script model and make the light target the model ( deselect everything, first select the light then the model and press 'W' ).

Put the _lights.csc in your mods\clientscripts\ fodler and replace the power_lights_think() function with this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

//
//	Control light intensity for certain lights connected to the power
power_lights_think( clientNum )
{
	// Get associated light model entity
	if ( IsDefined( self.target ) )
	{
		self.light_model = GetEnt( clientNum, self.target, "targetname" );
	}

	// The lights start off
	while (1)
	{
		level waittill( "pl1" );	// power lights on

		// Turn the lights on
		println("power lights on client num: " + clientnum);
		if ( IsDefined( self.script_float ) )
		{
			self.lights[clientNum] SetLightIntensity( self.script_float );
		}
		else
		{
			self.lights[clientNum] SetLightIntensity( 1.5 );
		}
		self.light_model SetModel( "lights_berlin_subway_hat_0" );			// put the on-model for the light here ( make sure it's precached! )
 
		level waittill( "lights_off" );

		// Turn the lights off
		//	Turn this into a flicker later
		println("power lights off client num: " + clientnum);
		self.lights[clientNum] SetLightIntensity( 0.001 );
	}
}
