Animated Lights

[Gamefandan]

Alright, I give up. I've searched and searched for some information on how animated lights work; I've come up with nothing. I didn't want to make a topic here unless I was sure that I couldn't find information about animated lights, and I didn't.

Alright so all I want to figure out is how animated lights work; It just doesn't make any sense to me. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Animated as in moving spotlight or blinking?

Everything having to do with lights that are animated.

Just grab a look at Light_Animated. The animation itself uses alphabets from A to Z where A is on and Z is off. Experiment.

I'm not sure I understand.

The alphabet stuff or the experimenting part?

Alphabet I guess? How does this stuff work? Does each Letter symbolize a time area where the color or direction changes?

More like the brightness of the light. A being 100% bright and Z is off as in 0%. Then every letter in between A and Z are various levels of brightness between 100% and 0%. For example B would be roughly 96% bright because there are 26 letters each letter being roughly 4%.

Seriously. Just experiment. I'm not a scripter in the slightest and I figured out this on my own in like 5 minutes.

Alright. I'm going to mash my elbow on the keyboard and see what I get.

[Gamefandan]

Alright so I figured it out.

A - Z are equal to numerical values.

A = 0

Z = 1

B - Y are all the little numbers between zero and one.

Each space represents an area of time.



So thanks for your incorrect help, it was helpful in some ways.

A = 0

Z = 1

B - Y are all the little numbers between zero and one.

Excatly what I meant. I just mixed up the A and Z.
