For my Christmas map entry I want my chritmas trees lights to change from an off texture to an on texture. And I want the lights to kick in. How would I do this?
Edit: just noticed this should probably go in the scripting section

2 script brush models, in script hide the first and show the other
multiple brushes would use
Code Snippet
Plaintext
flag_wait("electricity_on");
lights_off hide();
lights_on show();
multiple brushes would use
Code Snippet
PlaintextarrayShow()
{
for(i=0;i<self.size;i++)
self[i] Show();
}Code Snippet
PlaintextarrayHide()
{
for(i=0;i<self.size;i++)
self[i] Hide();

Lights_on and lights_off would be the Targetname right? And how would you do this for lights? Since they arnt brushes

Nice idea. You should make them twinkle too, but not simultaneously though. Perhaps with randomfloatrange(.5,.9)?

So if it gets a certain number it shows lights_on? That shouldnt be hard. Famous last words

Not quite. You would incorporate another function, with what jei9363 provided for you, with a while loop in it that would alternate the brushes on and off with a wait(randomfloatrange(.5,.9)); in between the ons and offs so that they wait slightly different times and don't flicker on and off at the same time/rate.
You would want to set up one of the brushes as the target of the other, then show one and hide the other, wait(randomfloatrange(.5,.9));, hide one and show the other, wait(randomfloatrange(.5,.9));, loop.

What he ^ said. None of that looks related to this. It should of said "assert fail", not "asset", but that could have just been a typo.
Once you get jei9363's stuff working I can help you with the flickering if you want.

I dont think this is what MakeCents is describing but it'll make all turn on and off when the power's on
