Strobe effect Created 19 years ago2004-08-23 13:49:35 UTC by Gone_Latin

ok, this is kinda like the anon post but a lil different too!
Is there a way to get a Multi manager to repeat itself? as in: if i wanted to create a strobe light, the MM could be used to turn it on, then off.... is there a way to get this to repeat? or do i just keep adding lines to the MM until i want the effect to end...............

make the mm target itself.

And you'll have to check the 'multithreaded' flag in the multimanager.

Warning! Once you've started it, you can't stop it without adding a whole bunch more logic.

And don't retrigger the multimanager or you'll just keep getting more mm's turning the lights on and off.

er... there are tutorials on this...

It involves more than just making the mm target itself
Try searching here for loops and multimanagers:

To just start the loop, it doesn't require more than the mm targeting the lights and itself with the multithread flag checked.

Stopping that loop requires a "loop stopper."

See 'Stobe Light Loop with Stop' in the 'Unfinished Stuff' map vault.

N.B. - this logic is such that it may stop with normal or strobe active. Depends on the timing of the 'stop.'
