Custom Beacon Lights Programming

17.8k jsaret  8.4 years ago

Hi guys,

I've got a SimpleQuestion for you today.

How can I customize the blink pattern for beacon lights in the .XML files?

Edit 1: I know there are the Steady, Slow Blink and Quick Blink settings. This is not what I am asking about.

    What you have to do is add "blinkProgram" to the XML of the light, and write a pattern (like 0.3,0.3,0.3,9,0.3) <--- The example I gave you would make it blink 3 times very quickly, then after nine seconds blinks again, and blink 0.3 seconds after. That's just an example. @MechWARRIOR57 @AstleyIndustries @jsaret

    I have also seen unusual patterns. IDK how though. I tried putting in a number like 0.7, but it just kept it as "steady".

    @MechWARRIOR57 I've seen some super-fast blinking lights before.
