See the scripting methods of Scene object, namely EnableNode3D, DisableNode3D, EnableLight, DisableLight and SetLightColor. Using them you can enable/disable lights and blocked areas or even change light color at runtime.

The rest is just a matter of several variables and "if" conditions.

Hi,
You'll find that the script language used in WME is very similar in structure to a number of high-level languages. You would probably benefit by teaching yourself some of the basics of scripting. If you are already versed in basic scripting - sorry... 

But if you are not... then this should help:

I found this after a brief search on google - http://www.phys.ualberta.ca/~tluchko/academic/2004/420/fortran_basics/fortran_basics.html
Its for "Fortran" but looks as though it explains the basics of FOR, IF, WHILE loops quite nicely and should help you learn WME more easily.

http://www.modula2.org/tutor/chapter1.php
This also looks like it could be a useful Tutorial. I havent had a proper read - but they look like a similar structure.

Failing that - maybe find a book on scripting ?

I am definitely no wizard - but I learnt Turbo Pascal at college a few years back - and the fundamentals are very similar... and I am picking up this WME very quickly

Hope that helps... ?

You can add something like this to the end of scene_init.script of a given scene:

Code: [Select]

// this global variable will be set to true if red light is on
// you can reference it from other scripts when needed
global IsRedLightOn;

// endless loop
while(true)
{
  // turn on the red light and turn off the green light
  Scene.EnableLight("red_light");
  Scene.DisableLight("green_light");
  IsRedLightOn = true;
 
  // add some other red-light related actions, such as playing some animations etc.
  var Traffic = Scene.GetNode("traffic");
  Traffic.SetSprite("path\cars_running.sprite");
 
  // wait for 30 seconds
  Sleep(30000);
 
  // switch the lights
  Scene.EnableLight("green_light");
  Scene.DisableLight("red_light");
  IsRedLightOn = false;
 
  // again, some green-light related code, for example stopping the traffic animation
  Traffic.SetSprite("path\cars_standing.sprite");
 
  // wait for another 30 seconds
  Sleep(30000);
   
  // and now the loop will start over, switching back to red light et cetera, et cetera...
}

Note that this code snippet should just give you an overall idea, you will need to modify it to suit your needs.
