Welcome to MODSonline

Hellas out there,

i'm a total Noobie with scripting and i am pretty sure i didn't learn it ever...(i'm getting old)

I try to find a nice Tutorial or a Script to move a Brushmodel randomly...but i couldn't find something i can use...
In my special Case i try to move a Shadow Brush in random intervalls up and down, the Result should look like flickering lights...

When more Lights are used there are only the threadname has to be changed...

Is anyone willing to create me this script (i bet this is pretty simple) or show me how to do this?

I'll never get this scripting Thing into my Head (4* yrs old Fart)

Thx for making my Day

like this?

Call of Duty 4: Switches Primary Light

Hi Sevenz,

thanks, but...nope, this is the lightswitch i used ...

what i need is a script where the brushmodels moving randomly...

Use the script from the tutorial and replace
self waittill("trigger");
by
wait(randomfloat(2));

where 2 is the maximum interval time in seconds.

It Woks!

Thanks a lot Dude, that is just what i need...
Great Board to get helped....

Hi guys I just did a bit change to the script that i found here:
cod4: Switches Primary light
Basically what i have done is just making that script working as a flicker light. That was pretty easy, but i can't get the light working.
I mean i can see the model swapping from com_studiolight_hanging_off to com_studiolight_hanging_on but when the shadow-caster brush move in order to cover the light just nothing happen . I tried to texture the brush with a concrete texture to see its correct behaviour on moving up and down and yes it is actually moving in the right way. My question is do i have to do some particular setting for a light? Also my gfx shadow option is turned on.

here my script:

main() { 
  precacheModel("com_studiolight_hanging_off"); 
  thread flicker(); 
} 
flicker(){ 
  while (true){ 
    speed = .01; 
    height = -36; 
    spotlight_hide = getent("spotlight_hide", "targetname");
    spotlight_model = getent( "spotlight_model", "targetname");
    if(isdefined(spotlight_model) && isdefined(spotlight_hide)){
       wait(randomfloat(0.6));       
       spotlight_hide movez (height, speed); 
       spotlight_model setmodel( "com_studiolight_hanging_off"); 
       spotlight_hide waittill ("movedone");
       wait(randomfloat(0.4)); spotlight_hide movez (height - (height * 2), speed); 
       spotlight_model setmodel( "com_studiolight_hanging_on" );  
       spotlight_hide waittill ("movedone"); 
    } else { 
       wait(6); 
       iprintlnbold ("Warning !!! - missing assets"); 
    } 
  } 
}

By the way my script has been tested and it is working good.
I bet i made a mistake on setting my light in cod4 radiant

Could you pls tell me what it's wrong?

Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english as i am italian
