Try this.
relpace

If(Getsectorflags(I) & 100)

with

If(Getsectorflags(I) == 100)


Do that at each spot you put the & sign. The & doesn't check whether or not it is equal. So you were pretty much saying, "If get sector flags(i) and 100." That doesn't make sense. The new version says, "If get sector flags(i) equal 100." Doesn't that make more sense http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif

that cog will do what it sounds like you want.
i took the cog you posted and modified it alot.
i dont know the reasons why your cog didnt work, i just took what you gave and started playing around with it until it worked.
i made it so it only takes the 'daynight' flex, bigger the number the longer the days.
i put a 'debug' int in too so you can see when the sector light is starting to change. 1 is on 0 is off.
see if its what you need, change it if you need to.
