[infal] Light Flicker

This script lets you have lights that flicker randomly rather than uniform blinking, giving a sort of faulty or maybe even horror ambience.




Lights are added and removed by run argument, so you only need one programmable block for multiple lights and you can easily change the actively flickering lights with a sensor block (or button, or timer, etc). So when a player enters an area that they'll actually be able to see the light flicker, add the light to the flicker script. When the player leaves the area, remove the light.

If there are no lights to be processed, the script will go dormant so that it's not just running for no reason.

The flickering effect is generated by turning the light on and off and adjusting the intensity. Every now and then the flickering will pause for a few seconds and the light will appear to be 'fixed' but then the flickering returns.


to add a single light, run the programmable block with the argument

-l "My Light" -add

and it will start flickering randomly.
To set the light back to it's default settings, no flicker:

-l "My Light" -remove


If you want to batch add/remove multiple lights at once you can use the -g [group name] instead of -l [light name]
eg:
-g "Light Group 1" -add
-g "Light Group 1" -remove
