Hello,

I'm new here and this is my first post. Could anyone let me know how we can control light on/off and intensity with something like timeline? it should be fairly simple, and I can't find it after searching for long. Thanks in advance.
 
I am just starting to tinker with timeline, but I have seen this done by adding timeline as a plugin to the light that you want to adjust. When you add timeline as a plug in for that light, you can add triggers that change intensity, toggle on/off etc. The best way I have learned is looking at how others have leveraged timeline. NLVam does a number of complex actions with timeline, to include moving the lights and changing the intensity, you could look at how it was set up in these instances.

Thanks for the reply. I understand how to use timeline for motion control of lights, but I can't find anything to control the intensity etc. Thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try.

Timeline -> Add atom target -> InvisibleLight -> Add storable float param -> Storable=Light, Param=intensity -> Add
