Nav lights scripting

[RPGprayer]

Okay, so I\'ve made a few navigation lights.

How would one go about starting to script them for strobing and such?

It\'s not possible, but you can make it as an liquid engines without thrust. If you will change thrust, brightness will be changing too.

That could work, as a quick fix... If I can figure out how particles work, and where they\'re spat out at, and so forth...

Ultimately, when the scripting is added (providing I know how, or can get help) I want to make them toggleable between 4 or so modes with a button (Slow strobe, Fast strobe, Constant, or Off) on each ship (if possible). So, I\'m crossing my fingers and waiting for now...

You might want to look into the new module loading feature that was just added. I suspect it could be used to do exactly what you want. It might not be completely implementable right now since it was only just added, but I would imagine it\'s exactly what you would use to do it.

Cheers!

What I did for the flashing red lights on my new Range Safety Devices:

        // Set up light
        base.gameObject.AddComponent<Light>();
        base.gameObject.light.color = Color.red;
        onIntensity=base.gameObject.light.intensity;
        base.gameObject.light.intensity=0;

Then, in onActiveFixedUpdate, I have

      // Every other second, toggle the light.
      if (Time.time % 2 == 0)
      {
        base.gameObject.light.intensity = (base.gameObject.light.intensity == onIntensity) ? 0f : onIntensity;
      }

Wow, N3X15. Very nice! Unfortunately, I have no idea where to put that. Would that be a new part or something? My scripting abilities are verrry limited :/

[RPGprayer]

Would someone with scripting capabilites be interested in the models and textures for this? Would very much be interested to see them working in-game
