I know flashers can be moved on the table via script actions, but I can't find anything about shrinking or growing them.

 

I know primitives use something like:

Primitive.Size_Y = Primitive.Size_Y + 10

and to move flashers it's just

Flasher.x = 100

But primitive commands and flasher commands are obviously different and no trial and error has worked yet. Any help is appreciated!

If you take a look at the CommandReference.txt you will see the list of commands available for a flasher, and you will see that the list is very different from a primitive. A flasher does not have any commands to change its size.

 

But you can always use a primitive to do almost the same as a flasher, and in VPX8 you can link a primitive to a light and by turning on a off the light you can make the primitive fade at the same time of the light.

 

Another way to have an effect of a flasher growing and shrinking could be achieved by using several flashers on top of each other and play with their visibility.

Thanks! Yeah I'll just make a primitive of a flat disc.
