How to create a light that can be turned on that stays on for only a specified amount of time:<br />
<br />
The TriggerLight has a variable called &quot;RemainOn&quot; which sounds like you could set a time there and it would turn itself off after that time, but it didn't work like that when I tested it. I read it up on UDN and it said this only works with InitialState set to TriggerPound, but that didn't work for me either (it stayed on indefinitely).<br />
<br />
So here is the more complicated way (if someone knows a shorter way, please post it!)<br />
<br />
Place a TriggerLight. Change it's lighting settings to your liking. <br />
Change Object -&gt; InitialState to TriggerToggle.<br />
Change Events -&gt; Tag to SwitchHit<br />
(I used two of them in the example map. They are identical except one of them flickers. This just makes it look nicer)<br />
<br />
Place a UseTrigger.<br />
Change its Events -&gt; Event to HitSwitch<br />
<br />
Place a ScriptedTrigger (Keypoints -&gt; AIScript -&gt; ScriptedSequence -&gt; ScriptedTrigger)<br />
In its properties, under AIScript, add the following Actions:<br />
<br />
[0] Action_WAITFOREVENT<br />
HitSwitch<br />
[1] Action_TriggerEvent<br />
SwitchHit<br />
[2] Action_WAITFORTIMER<br />
The time the light must stay on in seconds (I have 5 in the example map).<br />
[3] Action_TriggerEvent<br />
SwitchHit<br />
[4] Action_Action_GOTOACTION 0<br />
<br />
This creates a switch for a light that only stays on for 5 seconds. You can turn it off with the switch at any time and you can turn it back on at any time, but it will only stay on for max 5 seconds.<br />
<br />
Here is the example map:<br />
