"Scripted Lighting" How do i...

Hi, i was fiddling with triggers and lighting. I need to change the Appearance of a light when the player steps through the trigger (in case you didnt guess, this is for single play) But instead of toggling, or killing it, i need it to fade, flicker for a few seconds, then come back on. A bit like the lights in F.E.A.R, with the office and the spooky figure, you can see it at Gamespot somewhere if youve not seen it.

Any ideas, does anyone know if this can be done via outputs ect?

Thanks

With the new input output system I think that you can use a
trigger_once to change specific entitiy properties. You can even
trigger a logic_relay to set off several outputs at diffrent times.

this is kinda a cheap way to do it - but could you turn off your
current light, and at the same time turn on an identical light in the
same place - except this second one is flickering... then turn it off
and turn normal back on... i dont know, just a thought....

Yeah, thats what i was thinking Bob. DR.Glass, any clarification on what you mean? i mean, i understand, but i dont understand how its done, any ideas?

I've never done anything like this, but you shoud be able to make a
logic_relay set the output to somthing like: 'ontrigger' target
'light1' 'apperiance' then you should be able to set it to flicker.

You just have to experiment with the I/O system a bit to see if it works.
