Level Design Where is a timer trigger?

[NAKED GI JOE]

Hello, I have been reading for the last hour and can't find anything in KF for timer trigger.....I think that's what I want.

I want lights to stay on for a specifed amount of time. 2 minute 5 minutes something like that.

And where is trigger volumes? I looked at the volumes and I don't see "trigger" volume.

Thanks for your help in advance.

you can use a scripted trigger, if its lights use a trigger light and name it the same as the event ie lights

create a trigger say called lightevent

Open a scripted trigger and use

Wait for event - lightevent
Wait for timer - what length you want
trigger event - lights

so when someone hits the trigger called lights it will trigger the lights turning on / off after the pre defined timer

ok I found it actor class > lights > Trigger Light ..... thank you, I will now work on the settings.

Thanks for your fast response..-MGS- Sniper

Ok ...I am stuck.

I have TriggerLight
Events
event = LotLights
Tag = KFProxyTrigger

Object
Group = none
IntialState = None
Name = TriggerLight()

TriggerLight
bDelayFullOn = False
BInitiallyOn = True
next 2 = 0.00

Next I have
KFProxyTrigger

Events
event = LotLights
Tag = KFProxyTrigger

Object
Group = none
IntialState = NormalTrigger
Name = KFProxyTrigger0

Trigger
BInitiallyActive = True
False
None
0.000
balh blah blah
TriggerType = TT_PlayerProximity

Do I have to open the script and edit it??

I'm not quite sure I follow. I don't think this KFProxyTrigger is used any longer. If you want to trigger something, the Event of the trigger must mach the Tag of the actor to be triggered.

What I am wanting is:

there is a room, in this room there is a light, it is on. When a player comes into the room, after a few seconds or minute the light goes off....based on the fact the player entered the room (not the door opening or anything).

After a set amount of time the light resets back to "ON" state.

If you know of an example in another map, I'll track it down.

I made this example map, this should help you.

Edit: It works in the SDK for me but not in the normal game, I have to check this.

Edit2: Ok it was something weird with my game config files, I deleted the config files and did a verify game cache, and now those trigger lights works in SDK and ingame for me.

Edit3: lol Im so dumb the problem is that the client must have the dynamic lights activated in the system settings, otherwise this won't work.

OMG I would have never figured that out! Thank you for your time doing this.

I may have a few questions on the AIscript in the scripted trigger part......I'll try to work through that myself. Again Thank you.

No! Do! It's the best way of learning.
Some basic knowledge helps though I guess.
