FadeLightTo not working with asterisk?

[Mudbill]

Just placed down 3 point lights with default name (PointLight_1, 2 and 3), used the same script with "PointLight_*" as the name, but nope. Whattup? o.o

"PointLight_1" worked for one of them, but asterisk didn't work for any.

Can anyone test if this works at all? I could've sworn asterisk worked with this script, but I'm starting to doubt it...

perhaps try this

for(int i=1;i<=3;i++)
FadeLightTo("PointLight_"+i, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);

I know that method works, the only problem was that I couldn't use it with the co-ord system as efficiently, since they have 4 altering numbers. ALTHOUGH, I did mess around with it for a while, and I think I got something I can use.

PHP Code: (Select All)

for(int x = 0; x <= 5; x++) for(int y = 0; y <= 5; y++) {
    int a = x+1;
    int b = y+1;

    FadeLightTo("light_x"+x+"y"+y+"_x"+a+"y"+y, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);
    FadeLightTo("light_x"+x+"y"+y+"_x"+x+"y"+b, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);
} 


I haven't seen any problems with it yet, so I suppose it's a solution I can use. It doesn't really answer the original question about why the asterisk wasn't working, but it'll do.

It only replaces numbers, in my exp.
