Has anyone tried something similar to this as to give me a head start on it?

I have four dynamic lights in a hallway, when the player enters a trigger zone, I want the farthest light from the player to turn off. Followed by a short delay, and then the next closest turns off, and so on, until all lights are off.

I haven't quite come to grips with the .fpi scripting, but I believe I must use timerstart and state functions. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

Thank you

One way could be the following:

Place all the lights and call them the same (i.e.: lightGroup), then place the trigger-zone marker and set the 'ifUsed' property to 'lightGroup' (or whatever name you've used).

Finally, you'll have to modify the main script of each light so that once each light is activated, its respective timer starts counting and when the elapsed time reaches the one you want for that specific light, it turns on/off.

Hope you get it.
