Suggestion For Light Pattern Customization.

[XxTiceNitsxX]

I think it would be nice to be able to copy and paste light stages or "duplicate" a stage so you don't have to do it every time. It would also be nice to be able to move stages around. A click and drag function or something so you don't have to restart if you put something in the wrong spot.

I make folders for each police car, fire truck and ambulance each with it's own custom light display, I have folders for R&B and B&B light patterns. That way if I want to change a certain pattern I can just load it up, I name each one as well.

Basically you can duplicate the light pattern, example: Lightbar Alpha, Lightbar Alpha1, Lightbar Alpha2 and so on. When I make a lightbar I mostly use 8 steps, all it does is repeat the stages. There are plenty of tips and tricks I've learned throughout the steps for whatever light pattern I want.

The best way to make a light pattern is to start with 5 steps, I usually start on the right side with the color RED. I'll use the Epic lightbar and with the 5 steps I'll mess around for about an hour or so until I have the pattern I want, then I add 3 more steps to make 8 steps and do the same with the left side with the color BLUE. Now the 4th step is usually the cut off for the right side but I like to have both RED and BLUE on all of my steps or just on 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 or on steps 1, 3, 5, 7. Now for the rear of the lightbar can be whatever, I usually have 2-4 YELLOW ( amber ) lights, I like them on my lightbar but if you don't then don't. What I like to do sometimes is have 2 YELLOW lights on 2 steps, exapample, Step 1 YEllow, Step 2 Yellow, Step 3 blank, Step 4 YEllow or Blank, it doesn't matter but I like to have it be even and to match the light pattern.

Make 5 light patterns and save them in a folder, you can always import them and work on them to your liking, just remember to save that light pattern.
Always remember to name the lightbar in the folder as well, make sure they all have different names or your going to have problems.
Import to load in the files, Export to save the file.

Hopefully this helps
