Description

This is a script for controling turn and tail/brake light. These on/off automatically to your A, D, Space key input.

How to Setup?

-Note: The script setup method has changed.
Please delete all the custom data of the light, and re-enter the setting.
In the case of turn light, please write "turn".
With the cockpit facing the front of the Vehicle.(If cocpit is mounted on subgrid, like mouse-aimed rotor turret)
And write "Setup" in Argument and press Run once.
("right" or "left" are not necessary. script will automatically determine it)

Block Required
- any Spotlight or Interior Light, set Custom Data like an top image
- Cockpit block, Write Cockpit in custom data.
- 1 Programable block, put in this script, and compile it.
(Timer block is no longer needed, Please remove it if already set up.)

Press timer "Start" button. And see Programable block. If it displayed **System Failure**, block are missing or content of custom data is wrong.

-(Additional) Text panel support added. We can use those like as a light block. Place it to vehicle, and write "front" "rear" etc in the CustomData.

-(Additional) Reverse light added. Place sound block and light block or text panel to vehicle, and write "reverse" in the CustomData to use it.

(Additional)Customizable LCD

Script can now handle multiple light on a single LCD!

Setup

Place LCD and write Custom in Custom Data, and wait 10 second.
Script automatically describes the setting variables like this:

[Vehicle Light Control] Tag=Custom SurfaceSizeList={X:512 Y:512}, SpriteRecipe=

Tag and SurfaceSizeList is not a variable. SurfaceSizeList is the size of the LCD screen.
*Note: This number doesn't seem to be accurate. For example, Small Corner LCD Flat Top says 512*512, but it is actually 512*(about)160.
SpriteRecipe is the setting for what to display on the LCD screen, You need to write settings here.
Enclose a single sprite setting in {}.
Write ; between the variables
If you want to start a new line, write | at the beginning of the line.

Example:
Rear light complex(right side) for Small Corner LCD Flat Top

[Vehicle Light Control] Tag=Custom SurfaceSizeList={X:512 Y:512}, SpriteRecipe= |{Type=TEXTURE;Data=SquareSimple;Tag=Tail;Position=170,80;Size=300,120;Color=TailOff:10,0,0,255;Color=TailOn:50,0,0,255;Color=Brake:100,0,0,255} |{Type=TEXTURE;Data=SquareSimple;Tag=TurnRight;Position=412,80;Size=160,120;Color=TurnOn:235,235,30,255;Color=TurnOff:75,75,30,255} |{Type=TEXTURE;Data=SquareSimple;Position=95,120;Size=170,60;Color=Background:0,0,0,255;} |{Type=TEXTURE;Data=SquareSimple;Tag=Reverse;Position=95,120;Size=150,40;Color=ReverseOn:255,255,255,255 ;Color=ReverseOff:25,25,25,255;} ---

And Left:

[Vehicle Light Control] Tag=Custom SurfaceSizeList={X:512 Y:512}, SpriteRecipe= |{Type=TEXTURE;Data=SquareSimple;Tag=Tail;Position=342,80;Size=300,120;Color=TailOff:10,0,0,255;Color=TailOn:50,0,0,255;Color=Brake:100,0,0,255} |{Type=TEXTURE;Data=SquareSimple;Tag=TurnLeft;Position=100,80;Size=160,120;Color=TurnOn:235,235,30,255;Color=TurnOff:75,75,30,255} |{Type=TEXTURE;Data=SquareSimple;Position=417,120;Size=170,60;Color=Background:0,0,0,255;} |{Type=TEXTURE;Data=SquareSimple;Tag=Reverse;Position=417,120;Size=150,40;Color=ReverseOn:255,255,255,255;Color=ReverseOff:25,25,25,255;} ---

Is it possible to change the orientation of SemiCircle?

ostlandr 6 Mar, 2024 @ 10:40am

How do you get the turn signals to blink? Set up the light manually?

Captain Drak 4 Jan, 2024 @ 12:49pm

Just wanted to pop in and ask if there is a possibility of making hinges/rotors act based off control tag like Tag=Tail would cause them to reverse the hinge/rotor. For dynamic aero like a rear wing (This is the reason I ask). I see that it currently works with steering inputs, but that is it?

Normal Human 14 Jun, 2023 @ 10:57am

Also a feature where the turn signals turn off if you go above a certain speed would be awesome :D

Normal Human 14 Jun, 2023 @ 9:25am

Is it possible to get a custom data option for the script to not use the screens of the programmable block its placed in?

Entarlas 6 Feb, 2022 @ 12:04pm

someone please update this... needs some love.

76561198026697978 14 Oct, 2021 @ 8:02pm

also having the issue of the script overwriting the custom data for the lights. break lights work, but the forward lights and the turn lights don't seem to want to function. also the programmable block that I have the script in is saying

2 unassigned turn light detected.
Please align the cars straight.

I cannot figure out the front lights.. I have turn, tail, and reverse working flawlessly, however the front do nothing for me. Tried spotlights and interior lights, custom I type front, the script rewrites like all other lights do to TAG=Front etc., but the only way to get any lights for the front is hitting 'L' (the lights command in SE, lol) - and interior lights assigned as fronts do not come on (or off, depending on how I last set them).. When I move forward (or hop in the seat?) they should be coming on/off, correct, like all the other lights do?

BOBspiritus 17 Jul, 2021 @ 11:35am

for those having iseus with the tail lights you have to put 'front' in the custom data of your front lights that worked for me

GerryWJH 30 Oct, 2020 @ 2:07am

The script overrides MART PBs that has "Turn" tag in custom data, it's kinda annoying. And I couldn't get the Text Panel as Light or multiple light working
