Hi guys

after the last update I noticed the flashing ligh script stop working, what I have to change to make it works again?

+ Code Snippet

local delay = {}
 local init_delay = {}
 local on = {}
  
 function lightflash_init(e) -- name
 --change time here to adjust flicker timing
 delay[e] = 250
 init_delay[e] = delay[e]
 on[e] = 0
  
 end
function lightflash_main(e) -- name
  
 if GetTimer(e) > delay[e] then
 if on[e] == 0 then
 on[e] = 1
 ShowLight(e)
 else
 on[e] = 0
 HideLight(e)
 end
 delay[e] = GetTimer(e) + init_delay[e]
 --to make more random use this line
 --delay[e] = GetTimer(e) + math.random(100,1500)
 end
end

Yeah, same with me. None of my light scripts are working.

I would post it do github if you have a account, unfortunately I do not.

Not sure how that script ever worked in the first place, aren't you supposed to start timer before you can use get timer?

It looks like HideLight(e) and ShowLight(e) does not working with lights. I've tried old well mknown scripts working fine, I've even some video with the light flickering and waving with the bulb, and now does not work.
I've even tried with :

+ Code Snippet

if g_PlrKeyE == 1 and ePressed == 0 then
	ePressed = 1
	HideLight(e)
else
	ShowLight(e)
end

just for sake of testing and doesn't work either.
