Do you meant the lamp post and etc?
To on/off them you can just switch it at the F3>F6 environment editor
( you know, the thing that you edit the skies ) :P

I mean from the scripting part, like if i destroy a generator i want all the tagged lamp posts to go off etc.

Well, I don't know whether there's a effect name for it to turn on of off so if you're lucky, someone might know :)

When you place a post in the map scenario (F2) there is a specified option to make it on/off in the entity menu in the right low corner of the editor.
To turn on/off the light during gameplay via a trigger I have no idea, I'm sorry...

i only know how to turn them on.Creat a waypoint, set "radius" to 1,creat a new trigger, add scene/spawn to it.Click on spawn/entity, go to fx and selcet a light.Now your abel to spanw that light at your choosen waypoint...

Year i just found out that you can fix the spreading of spawn effects whith chanching the radius of the waypoint :D ! thats awesome now i´ve created a "paratrooper" script which allows me to let them deploy everywhere on the map :hurray:

Like he said, you can change the radius at the waypoint's properties which affects the spawn effects.
I find it useful for random artillery barrages :D

As for the "paratrooper" script, yea it's good to deploy them on specific spots instead of randomness :P
