turn street lights off around an object

Hi,

in the wiki i found this script:

{ _x setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0.97]; _x setHit ["light_2_hitpoint", 0.97]; _x setHit ["light_3_hitpoint", 0.97]; _x setHit ["light_4_hitpoint", 0.97]; } forEach nearestObjects [player, [ "Lamps_base_F", "PowerLines_base_F", "PowerLines_Small_base_F" ], 500];

it turnes off all the street lights etc in a radius of 500 m to the player.

can somebody tell me how i can turn off the street lights around an object?

tried to replace "player" with the objects name but it doesn't work...

thanks!

{ 
_x setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0.97]; 
_x setHit ["light_2_hitpoint", 0.97]; 
_x setHit ["light_3_hitpoint", 0.97]; 
_x setHit ["light_4_hitpoint", 0.97]; 
} forEach nearestObjects [someObjectName, [ "Lamps_base_F", "PowerLines_base_F", "PowerLines_Small_base_F" ], 500];

It should work with the objects variable name, I don't know about if you use the classname, but if that fails try: (getPos objectName).

nope doesn't work :/

Place a trigger size 0,0,0 and position it where you want the lights off. Then put this in the CONDITION:

isServer;

then in the ON ACT:

blowlights = ["Lamps_base_F","PowerLines_base_F","PowerLines_Small_base_F"];{_x setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0.97];_x setHit ["light_2_hitpoint", 0.97];_x setHit ["light_3_hitpoint", 0.97];_x setHit ["light_4_hitpoint", 0.97];} forEach nearestObjects [thisTrigger, blowlights, 500];

i use this Beerkan code although its not the same case

THE FOLLOWING METHOD DOES NOT REQUIRE A SCRIPT. (But can call one if required)

In the Editor place a trigger

Name:Transformer1

Axis A=0

Axis B=0

ANGLE=0

Activation = Once

Not Present.

Now in the Condition put this.

Code:

damage (nearestObject [getposATL thisTrigger,"Land_dp_transformer_F"]) >= 1; //

And in the Activation field put this

Code:

titletext[format["Small Transformer Destroyed."],"PLAIN"];blowlights = ["Lamps_base_F","PowerLines_base_F","PowerLines_Small_base_F"];{_x setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0.97];_x setHit ["light_2_hitpoint", 0.97];_x setHit ["light_3_hitpoint", 0.97];_x setHit ["light_4_hitpoint", 0.97];} forEach nearestObjects [thisTrigger, blowlights, 500];

@Beerkan thanks that helped!

@Rapax ok thanks

Is there a way to make a smaller area withing the affected are still have active lights, like a building is on a generator while the rest of the city is without power?
