The flash is centered on waypoint 3 (D).

Valid values

  • A scenario waypoint, written as its number in the fourth field of the line. Waypoint A is 0. The action ignores the waypoint label at the end of the line.
Caveats
  • No flash appears unless the warhead that C4Warhead names sets Bright=yes.
  • Nothing is damaged, moved or destroyed. The light is the whole effect.
  • The medium flash is about a fifth wider than the small flash and two fifths the width of the large flash, so the three sizes are not evenly spaced.
  • The flash brightens and fades within about ten game frames. It is not drawn while fog of war covers the waypoint.
