Ello all! I'm back, I am finally able to use ShockEd again with the new patches and I'm loving it.
#1 - I have a door, that when I hit the switch for I want to turn on two flashing red lights, then after the door closes, turn those lights off. I'm not total noob to ShockEd so I don't need a full tutorial unless somebody would like to post one for future search sake.
#2 - The screen size of the editor window... I've always hated this. edit_screen_size has its limitations. I'm currently at "edit_screen_size 1280,1024" but this looks odd on my resolution of 1920x1080 - solutions?
Glad to see there are still some people getting into this :thumb:

It's been a while but here's a guess.
Give the door a "switch" script. (Whatever shock ed calls it)
Make the light animated with a zero min and X max brightness and give it AminLight script.
The CD link from the door to the light.
As for screen resolutions you seem to have 4:3 and widescreen ratios in use at the same time. I'd try a wide screen resolution one step below your desk top.

I'm using edit_screensize 1440,900 on the same desktop resolution and it's fine.

I would simply CD link the switch to the door and two lights, and make the two lights animated.

Note that in SS2, ControlDevice links are called SwitchLink links.
