Could anyone tell me how to make lights flicker?I remember just about in sof2 you had to selcet the entity window and add some extra bits in there cant remember exactly what is it the same priciple in cod2? if so could someone add the correct entity info to get a light to flicker.I want to add several hanging light bulbs in a maps and want them to apear to be flickering.

If you are taking about changing, or dynamic lighting, take a look at the duhoc single player mission .gsc. If I remember correctly there were flickering lights in the bunkers of that mission. Note though that they only work in DX9.

Trying to do the same thing and I can't seem to find the are where the effect is scripted. Can someone give me a pointer to it?

Have you looked around in the duhoc SP scripts? It should be in there.

ok found the script thread that controls the flicker, here it is:

atmosphere_lights_flicker()
{

if (getcvarint("r_fullbright") > 0)
return;

if ( (isdefined(self.script_noteworthy)) && (self.script_noteworthy == "noflicker") )
return;

if (isdefined(level.lightsFlickering))
return;
level.lightsFlickering = true;

flicker = newHudElem();
flicker.x = 0;
flicker.y = 0;
flicker setshader ("overlay_lights_out", 640, 480);
flicker.alignX = "left";
flicker.alignY = "top";
flicker.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
flicker.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
flicker.alpha = 0;

wait 0.05;

//-----------------------------
//--------FLICKER LOGIC--------
//-----------------------------

count = (level.lightflicker["minFlickers"] + (level.lightflicker["maxFlickers"] - level.lightflicker["minFlickers"]) );
for (i=0;i {
if (i==0)
{
time = (0.1 + randomfloat(.25));
flicker fadeOverTime(time);
flicker.alpha = level.lightflicker["maxDarkness"];
wait time;
wait (randomfloatrange(level.lightflicker["minDarknessTime"], level.lightflicker["maxDarknessTime"]));
flicker fadeOverTime(time);
flicker.alpha = 0;
wait time;
}
else
{
time = (0.05 + randomfloat(.15));
flicker fadeOverTime(time);
flicker.alpha = randomfloatrange(level.lightflicker["minDarkness"], level.lightflicker["maxDarkness"]);

wait(randomfloat(time));
//wait time;

//wait (randomfloatrange(level.lightflicker["minDarknessTime"], level.lightflicker["maxDarknessTime"]));

time = (0.05 + randomfloat(.15));
flicker fadeOverTime(time);
flicker.alpha = 0;

wait(randomfloat(time));
}
wait (randomfloatrange(level.lightflicker["minDarknessPause"], level.lightflicker["maxDarknessPause"]));
}

//-----------------------------
//-----------------------------
//-----------------------------

flicker destroy();
level.lightsFlickering = undefined;
}



now how to cram that into an mp map and make it work?
