I am in need of something that will create a blinking light for me. For example, lets say I make a construction sign like you would see on the side of the road with a orange flashing light. Would a particle generator do this for me and if so which one would be good to get?

Thank you!

This is really not the right place to ask. You should try the design and textures forum. I thing all you need is a simple script to alternate between two textures. Particles (I hate em!) are almost certainly overkill and have a bad effect on lag. I suggest you avoid them, but I am biassed.

You can script surface properties like color; use a timer to alternate between a bright and dark color.

And the best place to ask this is the scripting tips forum, as a script is going to be the engine that makes this go.
