using mapfact trigger hut

[bootneckofficer]

hi

does anyone know how to use the mapfact current house (with the switch) to turn off one of the streetlights on nogova? i want to turn off the streetlight(124444) in the industrial estate by the airport on the SW of the island using a mapfact current house.

A mission was released a few months ago called "The assignment" by Jahve and you can find it at:

http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?sekce=news

Just search throught he sp missions section to find and download it.
The mission implemented scripts and triggers for exactlly the thing you want (pull switch to disable enemy camp lights), just unpbo the mission into your users/missions folder then load it up in the editor and you should be able to work out how to do it.

BTW schalter is German for switch ( as the script is German )

Hope this helps

I have no idea what "mapfact current house" is but have you tried:

(object 124444) switchlight "OFF"

--thobson   where do you put that?
i tried a trigger but it did nothing

When I have used this I have put it in a script that was run by a trigger.  It should still work if it is in the Activation field of a trigger though.  Two thoughts:
- "mapfact current house"  is actually something important
- the streetlight is not object 124444

Spawn a tank on the lighpost and then delete it . Problem (brilliantly) solved !

Hey BNO!

           The compressed file (zip or rar) that contained the pbo had a demo mission that shows how to use the switch on the current house. I am at work so I will try to remember to dig up the demo and post it later.
