DemoSpark=1,64,0,7,0,0,0,0,H ; trigger DemoSpark flashes at waypoint 7, whose label is H

The number 7 is the waypoint the flash is centered on. The trailing H is the same waypoint written as its label, in the field an editor fills in.

Valid values

  • A scenario waypoint. The action reads it from the waypoint number the line carries, not from the waypoint name at the end of the line.
Caveats
  • No flash appears at all unless the warhead named by C4Warhead in the rules is marked bright. The action is otherwise silent about it, and the trigger carries on as normal.
  • Nothing is damaged, moved or destroyed. The light is the whole of the effect.
  • The action asks for a flash sized from a figure of 50, which falls under the floor the engine holds flash sizes to, so this is the smallest flash the engine draws and the medium flash is only about a fifth wider.
  • The number field is where the engine writes this waypoint as well as where it reads it, so the number a line carries there survives the engine writing the scenario out again. The name at the end of the line is written from a separate field, which is the one an editor is prompted to fill in and the one that the actions reading a waypoint from the end of the line work from.
