SurfaceLightAnim(); I came across this while looking at m2_ffieldswitch.cog and couldn't find it in the datamaster.

This is the line:

SurfaceLightAnim(damsurf, 0.4, 1.0, 0.5); // animate surface

I've no idea what it does.

Just a stupid guess, but ...

Code:

SurfaceLightAnim(surface, min_light_level, max_light_level, flex_fade_time); 

I always assumed it toggled the lighting on a surface between two values. In fact, I seem to remember using it in a few cogs somewhere...

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

I imagine that it enhances the brightness of the switch when it's on in its second frame for greater effect than that provided by the texture alone.

SurfaceLightAnim is in DataMaster 0.6.2 under Cog Verbs > Anim / Cel > (bottom of list).

Doh, I figured it'd be under the surfaces section.

That's what the search function is for In DataMaster, some of the things are in weird places, or at least it seems to me at times.
