Sequenced Lights
I'm not exactly sure how to sequence lights. For context, I'm trying to make an approach path to my hangar, and I'd like the lights to blink in sequence like on a runway. The lights are set up in pairs of two, (= = =) and I'd like them to blink one after the other. Hopefully I've explained this well, and I'd appreciate any help!

This guy had a pretty good system running, and I got to integrate it into one of my builds, hope you can find some use of it.

Seems to be what I'm looking for, thank you! I'll see if I can adjust the speed of it, as it is a little too quick for me!

you could also do it with a bunch of cascade timers

well, you could use scripts or timers if you wanted... but the ability is built into the lights themselves. if you change 'blink offset' in set increments (like 5%, 10%, 15%) in order, they will blink in sequence.

Yes indeed... using a script for this is overkill unmless you want something like a double blink or reactive lighting... if all you want is lights that blink on and off in sequence, just set the duration of the sequence on each light, set the quantity of time each light should be on for, then use the offset slider so that they flash at the right moments.

That is already possible to some degree with absolutely no mods. "Blink Offset" in lights ;)
