" X_ switchlight "off" " crashes to desktop?

[The-Architect]

The-Architect here,

I just put switchlight off command into a trigger and flashpoint crashed to desktop. It does it every time!

I have an M2 Machinegun east (empty), and a nva soldier (moveingunner m2),
and I've tried the command in both init fields and with a trigger.

Is there another way to have the light off?

i think the code is this

" x switchlight off" x = the soldiers name

or put the soldiers behaviour to stealth like this

x setbehaviour "stealth" x = the soldiers name

i think

You cant turn off the light on the M2.

Switchlight is for steetlamps.  The correct usage is:

(object xxxxx) swithlamp "on/off/auto"

where xxxxx is the object id of the streetlamp.

Sucks, doesn't it

Yep, that's true. I tried it with a truck to turn the lights on, and if Flashpoint didn't crash on me, the truck became dammaged and useless.

I tried the setbehaviour "stealth" command and still nothing. Check how I've set the guns up (seperated man from gun). Also I can't find the script anywhere either.

;Lightoff.sqs

_this select 0 action ["Light Off"]

Name your M2 say....M2

Activate the script by typing M2 exec "Lightoff.sqs" in the init.sqs or [this] exec "Lightoff.sqs" in the M2's init field

;Lightoff.sqs
#Loop
_this select 0 action ["Light Off"]
~0.01
goto "Loop"


Name your M2 say....M2

Activate the script by typing M2 exec "Lightoff.sqs" in the init.sqs or [this] exec "Lightoff.sqs" in the M2's init field

Hmmm... Why should you type different argument type for the same script...? It wouldn't work!
Cuz at the init.sqs you'd have an object - 'M2' - and at the M2's initField you'd have an array - '[this]'.
Therefore you should use the argument 'this' (the object) at the initField or keep the init.sqs syntax as it's shown and modify your script into the following:

;Lightoff.sqs
#Loop
_this action ["Light Off"]
~0.01
goto "Loop"
