"tinderbox" didn't work?
Actually now that I think of it, tinderboxes aren't really an inventory item anyway.

I've decided to go with an ever-regenerating tinderbox supply for my purpose. However, if anyone has managed to get this to work otherwise, please post!

I believe you're looking for "OnIgnite" type? To make sure the player actually ignites a lamp before running your script. I had to utilize this when I scripted multiple lights to fade in after a player lit their corresponding candle/lantern/lamp.
void Ignite(string &in entity, string &in type)
{
if(type == "OnIgnite") //Do stuff
}

Whoops, i misspelled the value in my previous post, but in my script i had "OnIgnite".
Wait, that gives me an idea. Nope, idea didn't work.

Ahh OK. Well SetLampLit("cannon", false, true); should work. Perhaps make a separate function in case there is an issue setting a lamp unlit as a result of it being lit (sounds strange haha).
Code:
void Ignite(string &in entity, string &in type)
{
if(type == "ignite") AddTimer("unlit", 0.01, "Unignite");
}
void Unignite(string &in timer)
{
SetLampLit("cannon", false, true);
}
or try this too:
void Ignite(string &in entity, string &in type)
{
if(type == "ignite") Unignite();
}
void Unignite();
{
SetLampLit("cannon", false, true);

SetLampLit() doesn't reset the ability to light the entity again after the callback has been called.

Hmm, interesting. I'm stumped then. Hopefully someone can come up with a clever solution :3

There must of been a time in the main game where you lit a lamp, the wind blew them out and you could light them again...hmm...

I would still run into the same issue if i were to duplicate it and use SetEntityCallbackFunc().

I have a very weird workaround, but did you think of using create entity at area? I'm thinking that canon would be static, not that we would move it?
