how would i use a script to turn lights on and off in a sequence?

[{NJO}*Dark]

How would i use a script to turn a few lights on and off in a sequence with different timings between each of them?

[WadeV1589]

use("light1"); //light1 off

wait(1000); //wait 1 second

use("light2"); //light2 off

wait(500); //wait 0.5 seconds

use("light1"); //;light1 on

wait(250); //...

use("light3");

wait(750);

use("light2");

wait(1250);

use("light3");

wait(500);

This is going to be a dumb question, I DO realise but...

 

 

I thought Scripting and Mapping were separate entities, but I assume now that to do a decent/interesting map the two are interwoven? :?

 

So do I need to find some *cough*newbie*cough* tutorials to learn scripting as well? Cos you see, people's questions are often answered by scripts and I have no idea where the scripts are put or ANYTHING. lol

 

So someone help please

Thank you.

well Jedi_Vogel there is no scripts forum here is there and most half decent maps need some kind of script...

maybe we should make an official scripting thread

so if anyone has any question scripting wise they go there.....

we could fill it full of tutorials and stuff to help out newbie scripters

Some scripting tutorials for JK2 can be found here.

no offence dude, but that is JKII and this is the JA forum

 

maybe you guys should writh the tut

[Jedi_Vogel]

I assume then Coding and Scripting are not the same thing?

 

Can anyone at all point me in a good direction for learning to script JA Maps (not JO unless purely compatible), as when I do something, I like to do it properly

[GothiX]

Icarus (JO) has the same basics as Icarus II (JA). Those tutorials still apply.

[Jedi_Vogel]

Thanks

 

And the Icarus Tutorials can be located where? And Icarus, I assume, is a separate program. Not having yet had time to unpack the JA SDK, can you tell me if it's in there?

btw the difference between coding and scripting is that coding is the stuf in the .exe and scripting is what the exe uses for info

[GothiX]

Icarus II comes with the SDk, and the tutorials are over at http://www.geocities.com/kengomaps/tutorials.html.

 

Especially the cutscene tutorials explain the basic functions of scripting.

Thanks again
