I am trying to make a level with lights that blink on and off, but am having difficulty with it. First I tried just adding a light and choosing "Blink" from the dropdown menu of the properties, and it worked in the editor, just not in game. Then I tried using an xemitter but that failed as well. Still did not show up in game.

Here is what I am trying to do:


I need 4 lights to blink, 2 lights to flicker, and so on. But I can't even get the game to get this to happen. Sorry if this is a n00b question, and yes I have looked through the wiki like the faq suggested, as well as the Unreal ed FAQS. What should I do? I'm all out of solutions.

Dynamic lighting is disabled in the current Engine build. The only thing remotely dynamic you can do is use TriggerLights. I sure there's a way to constantly trigger them and get your blinking effect, but usually they turn on/off when a player touches their trigger. In Blitz's map BR-Warzone he has TriggerLights to make the flash of guns in the distance, but I'm not sure how he did it. I think he coded them since the map is full of scripted stuff he wrote.
