How to turn all light sources ON/OFF - Extreme - 06-23-2013 02:38 PM
Hey guys, I need another idea...
I'm trying to turn all light sources on and off, but I think the only way to turn on/off is dclicking (DCLICK) it or using (USE)...
So I made this code, should works fine but sometimes it don't turn on all types I set to do.
PHP Code:
[DEFNAME LIGHTTYPES]
LIGHT.1 I_TORCH_WALL
LIGHT.2 I_TORCH_WALL2
LIGHT.3 I_CANDELABRA
LIGHT.4 I_CANDELABRA2
[FUNCTION TURNLIGHTS]
SERV.NEWNPC C_ZOMBIE
REF1 <NEW>
REF1.FLAGS STATF_INVISIBLE
FOR I 1 4
serv.b <DEF.LIGHT.<dLOCAL.I>><QVAL <ARGS>==1?:_LIT>
FORINSTANCES <DEF.LIGHT.<dLOCAL.I>><QVAL <ARGS>==1?:_LIT>
IF !<CONT>
REF1.P <P>
MOREY 20
REF1.DCLICK <UID>
ENDIF
ENDFOR
ENDFOR
REF1.REMOVE
RETURN 1
How to use: .turnlights 0 to turn all lights off, or 1 to turn on.
Any idea how to improve it?
Thanks

I did something like this about 5 years ago as a plugin for another script, I wouldn't think it's the most efficient way now either but...
Streetlight Manager

Thanks Mordaunt!
But it didn't work perfectly too...
I don't understand why my code isn't running okay.
All itemdefs should turn lights on/off when used the command, but is most cases, some don't lights on/off.
Still searching a solution !

Maybe it is something to do with the underground region flag?

Absolutely not.
Those items are near to test in a house inside the city with flags nobuilding and guarded.
Some turn lights on, others aren't checked by forinstances.
I'm sure its problem with forinstances!
PHP Code:
FORINSTANCES I_TORCH_WALL
SAY hi
ENDFOR
Some torch walls (I_TORCH_WALL) don't say 'hi' and the ones that say 'hi' works.
Just don't understand, but the problem is in forinstances!

i tried with 500 i_torch_wall and foristances worked fine

<QVAL <ARGS>==1?:_LIT> is probably the problem... because of the premature closing.
Need to find another way to deal with it.
[EDIT]
NVM... There's nothing wrong there

Not here :/
I'm using the lastest pre-release.

I fixed it, just made a WHILE for FORINSTANCES that isn't working properly.
Now TURNLIGHTS 1 turns ALL lightsources ON with no problem, same for turning off
