Event Handlers questions.

[ofp..hahha]

Ok guys for a long time now people havent known about using event handlers in there cpp but i would like to know how to use them and maybe start a sticky for a compilation of them for other people to use. I would like a Example or some input on a event handler for damage like in the ah-1 cobra how the light blinks and the sound goes off when you are damaged so please put what you know about this and snippets in this topic.

thx

It's described in the official comref (Item Scripting Topics).

Have made a small template. Maybe it helps more. All is packed in a small .pbo you have to depbo.

Yeah but i dont want it for the gear i want things like the light blinks in the cockpit if you are damaged just like in the ah-1 cobra.

Let the event handler of your choice (init, killed etc. (comref)) invoke the setObjectTexture statement, to toggle the textures for simulating blinking lights (see the position lights on the jpg of the template craft). For night effects, do use the proper vetices lightning.
