Hey Thank you, I like the script. I got some questions:

1. I did see there is a part to define, if the script will use only the main grid or if it should use subgrids too. Can you give a short explanation on how to set the subgrids up?

2. On one of my grids I use Searchlights as headlights, they do not seem to work, do I need a normal light too?

3. Is it possible to add some ambient lights too, so they turn on with the head and taillights?

Thank you very much!

If anybody's having issues with vehicles that have two cockpits or more, the script will only work if you're driving from the cockpit that was placed last.

Great mod, is it possible to add amber running lights, lights along a truck and/or trailer?
I've tried modifying/adding to the script however my skills are lacking.

The indicator lights work, but the reverse and brake lights don't seem to. Also I'm not sure if I can use the same lights for reverse and turning?

everyone in edit there are names just name your lights and seat to the given names.

Great script. I think it would be neat to have turning lights too, like headlight but only turn on during turns, like some modern cars have. Also i wish there was a way to adjust the settings of all the lights in this mod. For example the reverss light has a way too little radius to be usefull reversing in the dark. And lastly would it be possible to have the reverse light stay on when the speed is 0 until you start driving forward again or specific time? Still, great script tho!

The script does not work properly with the small grid control seat or remote controls. Parking break lights up fine, but all else is unresponsive. Everything works with other cockpit types.

How do you set this up? Awesome!

Mr. Morphik... would you be kind enough to include a little on how to install this please for people like me who love stuff like this but are not bright enough (or just being lazy sometimes) to figure it out. Thanks man.

This script is amazing!
Gromit 10 Nov, 2019 @ 6:32am 
Thanks a lot, tested and it works fine :-)

Thanks Gromit for the the info about the change to the modding API. I have updated the script, it should be working as intended now.
Gromit 7 Nov, 2019 @ 5:25am 
Headlights are broken as they are not more listed in the block type IMyLightingBlock but in IMyReflectorLight. I've updated the script with a workaround for this problem and it works correctly. If Morphik allows me to I can provide a link for download until he updates the script.

Updated. Optimized code and removed obsolete errors.
Dots 11 Apr, 2019 @ 7:47am 
Now its not working at all. obsolete errors all over. Please update your script because people like to use it.
C4PTRAMPAGE 13 Mar, 2019 @ 9:11am 
its not working with remote control blocks

I seem to be running into some issues... The indicator lights won't blink while turning and corner lights used as brake lights don't function properly.
Bauboo 26 Sep, 2018 @ 10:40am 
Great Script!
I made a modification too; I added a timer so that the reversing lights don't turn off immediately but last about 10s. This is very convenient for manouvering.

Love the script! So simple, yet immersive.:steamhappy:

I made a slight modification to the script for my play... I added some code for side marker lights; those small orange running lights on the sides of semi trucks/trailers. Basically just lights that turn on and off with the headlights.
Wolf 10 Aug, 2018 @ 12:17am 
Oh allright, well, thanks for the update ! :)
Morphik  [author] 9 Aug, 2018 @ 12:56pm 
Okay it's been a while but I added wolfs code and tweaked it a bit because I was running into issues. Added a true/false at the top of the script for if your vehicle is controlled by a remote control block or not.
Wolf 18 Jul, 2018 @ 9:49am 
Well... I checked the code and figured out what to add myself. Tested, it works fine, here it is if you want it : https://pastebin.com/qr2wTNiA

Hello ! that script is amazing indeed.
I'll post this here as a bump about you saying you might look into remote control blocks :p THAT would be even more awesome ^^
Lengueni 17 Jul, 2018 @ 7:29pm 
Yo! This script is freaking awsome! Surprised this isn't mainstream yet and it should be. Great work!
Tex 3 Jul, 2018 @ 7:59pm 
How do you use it though?
Cole1138 10 Jun, 2018 @ 2:27am 
How does it work tho??
Nonexistent 11 May, 2018 @ 8:59pm 
Could u make vid on how this works? Spets' videos have been completely removed off YouTube..
Morphik  [author] 2 May, 2018 @ 8:27pm 
Sorry for the delay in the reply, currently the script looks for a specificly named cockpit. I am sure there is a way to do remote control blocks too. I'll look into it soon.
MattPlaysSimulations 25 Mar, 2018 @ 5:12am 
@Morphik, Does this work with remote controls? Making a remote control fleet but cant get it to work with a remote control. Works with rest.
Blinky 19 Mar, 2018 @ 10:27am 
epic. was working on something like this for my stuff but why bother reinventing the wheel. Subd & favd
woostyboy 4 Mar, 2018 @ 8:38am 
Subscribed. Looking forward to trying this out.
