endless loop Created 18 years ago2005-07-24 11:54:42 UTC by VOX

I'm trying to trigger a light so that it goes on and off forever, with a delay of my choosing between it's state. I've tried using two multi_managers that target eachother, but it only turns on and that's it. Any help? Thanks

I'm not sure but if you tried to target the multimanager to itself?

Yes, I tried that, it didn't work.

Try using relay triggers, have a trigger_once target two trigger_relays, one to turn on the light and one to trigger two more trigger_relays, one to turn off the light and yet another trigger_relay, have that second one trigger either the first pair or continue to trigger two more,

Trigger once
|
Trigger_Relay01 - Trigger_Relay01 (Light on)
| (wait time)
Trigger_Relay02 - Trigger_Relay02 (Light off)
| (wait time)
Trigger_Relay01 - Trigger_Relay01 (Light on)

Since you can set lights to on and off with the trigger_relays you can just use them as a more complicated Multi_Trigger

VOX, that will work fine as long as you check "multithreaded".

Costum apearence! Write something like that in there- zzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaa

Well I have a trigger_auto, which targets Manager1, which after 0.4 seconds targets the light, then at 0.6 seconds targets Manager2 who has the same settings as manager1 but intead targets manager1 instead of manager2. They both have multithreaded on.

It doesn't work.

New problem. The light has initially dark checked, but it starts on. wth is that all about? Nothing else in the room but player start.

I've been messing around with this light thing, your right, something is up!? I know I've done it before, but now the light just stays on, and I KNOW that its getting targeted, becuase I put a door in there with the same name just to make sure. but the light will not toggle!!!

OKAY!!! I GOT IT!! I bet you were naming your light entity as 'light' well, as SOON as I changed it to something else (ex. lights1) it worked, try it out, oh and if you want to take a look at my map I made to do this, check it out (link below).

Wow wierd lol. It works perfectly. Thanks a bunch for the help.
