Working Starting timer for my track

Hi to all modders friends,
Today I would like to ask you if it is possible to make a starting timer working on AC, and how to do it.
Let me explain, the idea is to make a timer that counts 5 seconds, and repeat the cycle, without stopping so as to be able to space out the starts of the cars (we are talking about a sort of rally). My idea is to model 5 meshs shaped as the numbers from 1 to 5 and make them light up in sequence, restarting each time, without stopping. Is there a way to do this? Maybe as we do with the starting light, trough the .ini file.
Sorry for my English and thanks for your attention!
Best regards to all

Massimo

yes, but afaik no way to make it synced in online servers:
(eventually with INPUT=TIME, but i have no idea how to do the LUT then)
also AC timing is completely un-affected with this
Code: 
[CONDITION_...]
NAME=BLINKRED  ; 20 seconds on
INPUT=ONE
FLASHING_LUT=(|0=1|0.6666=1|0.6666=0|0.95=0|1=1|)
FLASHING_FREQUENCY=0.0333  ; loop 30 seconds
FLASHING_SKIP_OFF_STATE=1
FLASHING_SKIP_DOWNHILL_STATE=1
FLASHING_SMOOTHNESS=1

[CONDITION_...]
NAME=BLINKYELLOW  ; 5 seconds on from 15 seconds in
INPUT=ONE
FLASHING_LUT=(|0=0|0.45=0|0.5=1|0.6666=1|0.6666=0|1=0|)
FLASHING_FREQUENCY=0.0333  ; loop 30 seconds

Well, i wrote this and it works not perfectly but it works, now all that remains is to associate it with the server time.

Great Guys! Thanks to funghettaboutit as always for the solution and thanks to jocala for testing it!
Jocala, can I ask you where did you get the semaphore model shown in the video?
Thanks again!

Sorry Guys, how to name the file. ini that contains the code? (I suppose)

Thanks

No worries man, congratulations for your track, I saw the video you posted here, on Youtube. Great job!
Anyway, I tried to do what you said guys, but not working for me (thinking I did something wrong).
In my track there is already the external_config file with the codes for Grass FX and for the ambient lights (Trough BLM Lights App), I have simply pasted the code under the others. I modeled a "timer", imported into my track, and renamed the three meshes and materials of the lights to the correct name (I used exactly your code, Jocala).
Did I miss some steps? Maybe some setting to activate in the CSP settings?

Thank you guys

Massimo

edit: for green to not fade out, but switch out, it should be somthing like this (untested):

[CONDITION_...]
NAME=BLINKGREEN ; 10 seconds on from 20 seconds in
INPUT=ONE
FLASHING_LUT=(|0=0|0.6666=0|0.6666=1|0.95=1|1=1|1=0|)
FLASHING_FREQUENCY=0.0333 ; loop 30 seconds
FLASHING_SKIP_OFF_STATE=0

I am trying to do a traffic lights. I come from this post: https://assettocorsamods.net/threads/creating-working-traffic-lights-for-a-free-roam-assetto-corsa-track.3274/

I see that you did something close that I need but I don understand how you did.
What means this line? FLASHING_LUT=(|0=0|0.6666=0|0.6666=1|0.95=1|1=1|1=0|)
Do you need a .lut or . lua doc for make working that or only numerical values like 0.6666?

How do you decide the "on" time and the "off" time and when the beginning of the loop?

Thank you very much for the help!

in combination with the frequency of 0.0333 and input one, we have created a 30 second timespan, the lut is in percent of that timespan, and =1 means lights are on

Forgive my complete ignorance.

I would like to know the meaning of each line:
Input=one what does it mean? (; possible inputs:
; ONE, NONE, TIME, AMBIENT, FOG, SUN, RACING_FLAG, YEAR_PROGRESS)

How could I choose the time I want for each loop? How do you measure the percentage in time? 0.0333 is 30 seconds: 1/30= 0.0333?

What do the values 0.6666;0.95 mean? 1 is 60 seconds?


As I understand this it would be like this

FLASHING_LUT=(|0=0|0.6666=0|0.6666=1|0.95=1|1=1|1=0|)

0=0 in time is off until time 0.6666 (1.5 secs)

from 0.6666 to 0.95 (1.05 secs) is on

The last range |1=1|1=0| I do not get it


I apologize if I'm being very annoying but I need to understand this well.

input = one ; is 1 sec yes
flashing_freq = 0.0333 is 1/30
so now we stretched 1 in 30 parts/seconds
in the flashing_lut we switch to percent
at 0.666 * 30secs = 20secs
and we want the light to turn on 'sharply' at that point
...0.666=0|0.666=1...

we could do some 'fade' in:
...0.664=0|0.668=1...

(0.668 - 0.664) = 0.004 * 30sec = 0.12secs fade-in time

Thank you very much for the trouble of explaining to me, I will try to do tests when I have free time with this information that you have given me.
Thanks again!
