Hey!

So, I believe this should be possible, but I have no idea how to go about it. I have volumetric lights in my map, and I would like it to have them all turn on when the power is activated. I has searched and couldn't find any answer, so I posted here. If it's also possible, i'd like it if FX appeared when the power was turned on as well, but my main priority is to get the lights working.







- Thanks, greeNTheBoyz

It is possible, but you somehow need to tell the power switch to change the lightstate, sadly I don't know how to script.

First find the sun_volume and make the second lightning state (ssi2) the same as the first lightning state (ss1), or something else if you want to change skybox upon power being turned on.



Edit the properties of the light and make sure they are all unmarked on LIGHTNING_STATES/lightningstate1, this will make it so all lights are turned off until we change the lightningstate to the second one.



Add this in the main function of your map's gsc file;

init_power();

function init_power()
{
	level flag::wait_till("power_on");
	level util::set_lighting_state(2);
}

Thanks so much! If it was possible I knew it would have something to do with that sun volume, I just didn't know how to do it. Thanks again!

EDIT: I've tried this, and I always get this error when loading the map and testing it:

... and this is my 'zm_street.gsc' file:

Try level threading the call to init_power() so

level thread init_power();
