Local Lighting

I've searched and I can't find it.... can anyone point me to the the LSL syntax to go with the llSet PrimitiveParameters or whatver it is to control the new local lighting on the Edit > Features > Lighting for color, intensity, radius and falloff please?

Paramaterss:
[PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, TRUE, <1, 1, 1>, 1.0, 10.0, 0.75]

Param info:
TRUE/FALSE, vector color, float intensity, float radius, float falloff

I found the info on this page:

That's the one, thanks... now the script doesn't give an error, but it also doesn't appear to want to do anything.

What I am trying to do is a light that flashes on and off regularly, using the local lighting, basically toggling the true/false parameter. It doesn't seem to be looping as it should - any clues?

default 
{

state_entry () 
{

llSetTimerEvent (5);
}

timer ()

{      
llSetPrimitiveParams ([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, TRUE, <1, 1, 1>, 1.0, 10.0, 0.75]);
}

timer ()

{
llSetPrimitiveParams ([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, FALSE, <1, 1, 1>, 1.0, 10.0, 0.75]);
}

}

default {
	state_entry() {
		llSetTimerEvent(5); // generate a timer event every 1 second
	}
	timer() {
		llSetPrimitiveParams ([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, TRUE, <1, 1, 1>, 1.0, 10.0, 0.75]);
		state k;
		}
	}
			
state k
{
	timer()
	{
		{
		llSetPrimitiveParams ([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, FALSE, <1, 1, 1>, 1.0, 10.0, 0.75]);
		state default; // change to default.
		}
	}
}

Couldnt get yours to work either but this one does.

The problem with the above script is that there are TWO event handlers for the same event. Only the last event handler will be executed in the script; all the preceding event handlers for the same event will not be executed.

Such a simple little thing... just couldn't find it; it's working perfectly now thanks.

I don't know if any of you who helped here collect bears but mine is on its way to you.

Instead of states, etc, wouldn't be easier just to flip the value of the on/off parameter?

isOn=FALSE;

default 
{

state_entry () 
{

llSetTimerEvent (5);
}

timer ()

{      
isOn = !isOn;
llSetPrimitiveParams ([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, isOn, <1, 1, 1>, 1.0, 10.0, 0.75]);
}


}

Just looks a lot simpler to me.

It's too bad that we need to use scripts to make changes to light intensity. Local light needs to have a light intensity modulation feature with a few preset modulation profiles: sinusoidal (w/period & minimum intensity), square wave (w/period & duty-cycle & "off" intensity), random flicker (w/duty-cycle), night-time only, etc.
