Hey guys,

how is it possible to create a blinking light for nightflying.
The "Skyship" has got a blinking KE logo.
I saw that its ~CS_Glow but with special properties:

NUP_OffPeriodSEC
NUP_OnPeriodSEC
NUP_OffsetSEC

How to do this in 3dsMax ? anybody knows :confused:

best regards
Christian
 
Well found the solution :)

Just Rightclick your "~CS_Glow" Object and go to Properties.
Then to the tab "user-defined properties"

Now just write in (except things in the braces) e.g:

NUP_OffPeriodSEC=0.2 (Light will be off for 0.2 seconds)
NUP_OnPeriodSEC=0.2 (Light will be on for 0.2 seconds)
NUP_DelaySEC=1.0 (Light starts with Lightanimation 1s after loading the model)

You can change the values so the Light animation is faster / slower

unfortunately this animation doesnt work on Custom Rotorblades :(

This would be nice for incorporating navlights into models. Too bad (for me anyway) that you need to have the 3dsmax file in order to add these afterwards.
 
By the way using the name ~CS_BULB will make it visible during the day as well, only it will stay off when the sun inclination is 10 deg. or higher.
