Lighthouses

[Mephistopheles]

Hi everyone!

I was just wondering, how do you turn lighthouses on? I am making a mission where I need to turn a lighthouse repeatedly on and off, like a morse code. I know how to change a unit's behaviour from safe careless to aware via a script, to simulate morse code. But i don't know how to get the lighthouse to call it! I hope I've explained myself correctly, lol! Any help would be appreciated!

Kindest regards,

As far as I know, the lighthouses don't actually light up.

What you could do is setpos a light source at the desired lighthouse location and the correct height, then, switch it on and off as many times as needed.

Planck is right, lighthouses do not light up unless you script it.   There are a couple of lighthouse scripts out there - for example ECP includes one.    You could borrow/adapt one, giving credit of course.

just setPos one of those little 'glow' objects from the 3WX Objects pac, and then make a short little script that 'inFlame true's it then 'inFlame false'sit.

that all you need
