Light turn Off

Unity Engine
1

I am trying to make a light turn off when i press w (“Forward”) but it just doesnt work.

Update I fixed that.

How would I make a script that would turn the light off from a diffrent object ? like if i had a script connected to another. I use the following to turn off this light with script on the light but how would i do diffrent to do ass mentioned above.

function Update () {

	if(Input.GetButtonDown("Forward")){
		light.enabled = false;
	}
}

What you mean with " from a diffrent object"? Player turns off light, or what?

  1. You can call for function on other object!

like I dont get the light.enabled function I can only get it to work when it is connected to a light =/ Do I have to make a seperate script for the lights that has like a variable or something telling it if true or false turn off or on and change that variable with the other objects script or something ?

For example I want to use a switch and that switch turns off a certain light for example.

1.Yes you can make a seperate script(and call to turn it on/off)
2. If you want only once turn it off(and without possibility to turn on light - later), you can destroy object!

var light : Light;  // Will be shown in inspector for you to assign

function Update () {

    if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Forward")) {  // If "Forward" button is pressed
        light.enabled = !light.enabled;  // Switch the light
    }

}

If you don’t like to assign things through the inspector:

function Start () {

    light = GameObject.Find ("NameOfMyLight").light;

}
