[Mr.Noßody]

So, I suppose no one knows how to do this?

[TheArmyGuy]

Events.
Now get alot of peopole to quote this below me :D

[Amade]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[DrenDran]

What exactly are you trying to do?

I think he's trying to make a special light type. Like the strobe or the RGB lights.

TheArmyGuy, notice how this is in *coding* help?

[Mr.Noßody]

Okay, what I'm trying to do was to make a light that would flicker like a broken bulb would. I was editing Yellow Flashing light from default when I was I cant change the pattern of the light flashes. only Speed, Duration, and color. This leads me to believe it may not be a part of code, but Id like to check.

Those of you who will say "Use events" this would be a good light to have so instead of making all the events then having to activate them with a relay going consonantly in the background, its just a settable light.

Sorry to say, but people stopped asking these questions long ago. As such, not many people care to remember how anymore.

[Mr.Noßody]

That code doesn't work right..

[ZSNO]

That code doesn't work right..

How doesnt it, I took it straight from my Light Pack

[Mr.Noßody]

Lights not showing up in light menu.

[Amade]

Code: [Select]

RadiusKeys = "AAAZAAZAAAAZZAZ"; This too

I thought he would leave the comments out, not just copy paste =\
