Excuse the typos, I typed this on the fly. Those are 2 quite different things. Force fields: Mask the wall, give it the frocefield texture or the bigforce etexture, give it a lotag that's the sam,e as a switch's lotag, unmask it, and you've got a forcefield you can turnh on and off. I wrote that too fast: If you don t care about turning it on and off, it's the same as a window. For a window, just mask the wall and give it a glass texture. Similarly for cages, screens, etc. > >How Cycler (lettersymbol C) works? > DOn't use it much myself. >How I can create blinking lights or change >object color? > Some textures blink, and there's a sector effector for random lights.
