Surface Light Values

Can somebody cook me up a cog that will make a specified surface's extra light value flicker between to to specified values at a random rate? (for the randomization there make it so i can enter the max rate and minimum rate.) Thanks in advance!

Setpulse(Rand() * 10);

Pulse:

While((R < Min_val) || (R > Max_val)) { R=Rand(); }
Setsurfacelight(Wall, R, 0.1);
Setpulse(Rand() * 10);
Stop;

Dont know if it works, I just typed it into the box. But it should.... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Yay that works, can you make it so i can set the minimum/maximum intervals?

Oops, I allowed for specific light values. Silly me. Try this on for size... [http://www.plauder-smilies.com/spiny.gif]

That should do the trick.
