Ok, I have come across a problem with a small addon I'm working on. I am trying to make an ILS appoach system for use with OFP airports. Without going to much into details, ILS systems use both single flashing lights lined up in a row and groups of five steady burning lights in between the flashing lights. I have the flashing lights working, but I can't get the group of 5 to work. Am I just doing something wrong, or is only one light per object allowed in OFP?
Here is my config:
#define TEast 0
#define TWest 1
#define TGuerrila 2
#define TCivilian 3
#define TSideUnknown 4
#define TEnemy 5
#define TFriendly 6
#define TLogic 7
#define true 1
#define false 0
#define private 0
#define protected 1
#define public 2

};I get no error on startup, and when I turn on the lights all that appears is a single orangish light halfway up the mast. I can supply a picture if needed.

EDIT:
I have come to the conclusion that what I want to do is not possible the way I want to do it. Please feel free to correct me ;D
...So, what I want to do is define the group of five lights as an object and call a script which camcreates invisible lights in the proper places. My question is, how do I call the script. I have the following in the config:
   class PILOT_AppLight2: NonStrategic
   {
      armor=20;
      scope=2;
      destrType="DestructTree";
      vehicleClass="PILOT OBJECTS";
      displayName="Approach Light 2";
      model="\PILOT_AppLights\PILOT_AppLight2.p3d";
      class UserActions
      {
         class Lights
         {
            displayName="";
            position="Light3";
            radius=0;
            condition="player distance _this < 3000";
            statement="[_this] exec ""\PILOT_AppLights\lights.sqs""";
         };
      };        Â
   };The reason I am using UserActions is, I want this to work with WRP placed objects, and eventhandlers don't work with WRP placed objects. My problem is, the script is not being run. How do I pass variables to the script so I can get the script working, and how do I call the script in the config?
