setdammage on an ID

[Dagon]

hey, in a mission i'm designing, I want the player to be able to use a radio command to destroy a pair of streetlights. However, streetlights are IDs, not objects - how can I destroy them? (with setdammage 1)

I don't see why not

(object XXXX) setdammage 1

or you could just switch them off with:

(object XXXX) switchlight "off"

XXXX represents the ID number.

(object XXXX) switchlight "off"

^ That works? I thought you needed to use inFlame true/false to do that?

If anyone wants to know: to find the ID's of an object, all you need to do is (in the mission editor) click "show ID's" -- on the side menu bar. You'll need to zoom in real close to see the ID's though. Then, put the ID of the object into the script Planck posted.

Nope, that's only for the 3rd party (addon) lights that are defined as fireplaces...

The default lights should be possible to turn of like that...
