Light Phased question (UDMF)

[Zulk RS]

I want to have an effect on a sector that's similar to Light Phased but I want the brightness to go down to 0 when the sector is in its "Dark" state.

 

Basically when you use Light Phased sector effect, I noticed that the lighting fades from dark to bright and then to dark again on loop. This is perfect except when it goes dark, the brightness does not go all the way down to 0. I want it to get down to 0 but I don't know how. I tried Light Glow but then the fading is too fast and I want to stay dark for a couple of extra tics before moving back up to light.

 

How do  I do this?

Add Delay(insert number of tics here); after fading to zero, like this as an example:

 

script 1 OPEN

{

 Light_fade(69,192,35);

 Delay(35); <---one second of delay

 Light_fade(69,0,35)

 Delay(140); <---that's for 4 seconds

 Restart;

}

Not familiar with UDMF, but usually light goes to darkest adjacent sector and back. Try making the darkest sector possible and make it adjance to the sector in question. Join them if needed.

Use Light_Fade via scripts

EDIT: Hope it will help you, especially in UDMF

I used Light_Fade via scripts but it doesn't stay in dark for extra tics. What I want to happen is:

 

Brightness 0 -> Fade to Brightness 192 -> Fade to Brightness 0 -> Stay at Brightness 0 for a short bit -> Fade to Brightness 192...

Using the script is just continuously fades between 0 and 192 without stopping at 0.

Thanks. This worked. Did not know Restart; was a thing in ACS.
