Lightning Effect

<div class="IPBDescription">entity setup</div> I'm trying to figure out how to set up a lightning effect (a thunder sound playing and a lightspot going off) and everytime i try something it always messes up, like it only triggers once and never again, the light starts on and turns off instead of the opposite, and other messed up things. So I was wondering if you guys could post an entity setup to randomely trigger a thunder sound and a lightspot every 45 to 120 seconds.

Check the Initially Dark flag, this will make the light turn on when it is triggered, and then off when it is retriggered. Can't help with the actual triggering though, I'm still semi-newb <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Was this what you tried: a trigger_random triggering a multimanager, which in turn triggers an ambient_generic and a light_spot?

yes thats what im using, I've almost got it, I think this last compile should get it to work

the current problem is that it only triggers once

you need to create an infinite loop between a trigger_random and a trigger_reelay/multimanager.

Trigger randoms cant trigger themselfes.

And how would I fill out the values for each entity, I've just about got it to work its just that every other lightning strike the sound doesn't play.

My current setup is that the trigger randome triggers the multimanager which triggers the sound, light, and then retriggers the trigger randome to randomly select another multimanager.
