Clear inserts with color changing lamps a possibility?

 

Feel as though I could be asking too much here but has it ever been done in a sim yet?

No, it is possible. You have to get the basiclamp behaviour:

BxBasicLamp lb = AddLamp("Bulb3",10);

Then you can dynamically change two color values, for lit and unlit colors:

//!< color when lamp is lit
lb.m_lit = Color(10,56,250);

//!< color when lamp is unlit
lb.m_unlit = Color(1,5,25);

If you call this in an undate loop, you can interpolate r,g,b.

 

We'll make a "utility" function if this is widely used...

Wow. Sweet.

I'd like to use it in all original tables but you gotta think from now until whenever most tables these days will be standard procedure.

    public void LampOn(int r,int g,int b)
    {
        BxBasicLamp neh = (BxBasicLamp)AddLamp("EyeBulb", 23, "BxBasicLamp");
        neh.m_lit = new UnityEngine.Color(r,g,b);
        // neh.m_onTime = 10f;
        neh.Start();
         neh.TurnOn();
       // SetSolenoid(23, true);
    }

Couple of things here. I've had to cast the (BxBasicLamp) & use the new keyword on color from your original code.

 

I can't get it to turn on though without the SetSolenoid. It comes on but shuts off straight away, not sure how to do this.

 

"neh.m_onTime = 10f;" .. This turns it on but slowly gets brighter until it can't get any more brighter.
