Blinking Safety track lights

[Bongos]

Just starting out here, have followed Luchian's basic guide and got a basic track built.
Am going for an arcade style track so wanted to put in some barrels with blinking lights - for corners.

Are there any guides to setting up blinking lights around?

In your case you basically need the MATERIAL ADJUSTMENT with a CONDITION.
Additionally if there is anything close which you wanna light up as well,
You could add a LIGHT_SERIES (which is basically a light spot)
Cause the Material Adjustment only makes the mesh emissiv.

Ah great! Thanks Rob. I'll have a crack at this and report back.

Got the barrels modelled, and put the code in the config file. I used a bit of LOR_Orchard track code as a base and modified material name and added condition code.

Code used for ext_config.ini

You sir are an absolute legend for sharing your solution to this! After days of trying to work it out myself I found your post here and was able to successfully use this code as a base to achieve a different lighting effect in one of my current maps!
