Trigger Plate Cog

Would someone please make a cog for me that triggers the extra light in a sector, when a walkplayer touches a surface. The light should remain at a specified level until the player leaves that surface. I plan to have many surfaces with this cog (probably between 200-500), so if you could give as many repeats of this formula per cog as possible, that would very helpful. This is also for multiplayer.

Summary:

Box for Surface Number
Box for Sector Number
Box for Sector Light On
Box for Sector Light Off
Multiplayer

Thanks!

Should all the surfaces trigger one single sector's light, or should each one be linked to a different sector?
Also, it's not too easy to pull it off with surfaces as triggers. Would it be possible to use sectors instead?

Ok, here is a first draft. It's untested. And all the surfaces trigger one single sector. I'm not sure about MP capability, but I guess the sector light should be synched. It should work with the default values, if you set up at least the sector and one surface.

Code:

# floorplatedlights.cog
# Activates/Deactivates a sector light with surfaces as triggers
# zagibu@gmx.ch

You will definitely need to make this client-server. In Scream MP the light switches originally relied on JK's default syncing to change the light in 100 or so sectors, and sectors would often be left lit up when someone turned the lights out. Now it's client-server and it works perfectly.

Oh, wow, I totally forgot about this. I'll test it out soon, sorry about that.
