Lights: OSS and "Night Only"
Posted: Fri Nov 01, 2002 6:31 am
I can't recall anyone mentioning this before, so I'll bring it up since I spent quite a while correcting this today:
If you have Lights that can have the OSS toggled, you must not have the "Night Only" field ticked/checked. The OSS can not be toggled when this field is ticked/checked, so any triggers you set up this way are a waste of time.
This is actually something of a "bummer", since if you're using something like triggers to simulate lights going out after a generator is knocked out you have violate the "tick/check the 'Night Only' field on lights that aren't completely indoors" rule. This will mean that your outdoor lights will give their area of effect that "washed out" look during daylight hours.
Good thing my current mission takes place in twilight w/night fast approaching.
