Strange Behavior of Subroutine

[GeorgeH]

I have a subroutine "CheckLightSettings()" that turns on the lighting on my table. I can set up a keycode and press it to run this subroutine after the game starts and the lighting turns on. So I figure I can add a call to run the sub when you press the start game key and make it run instead of having to press the keycode. For some reason, the sub won't run. So I decided to add a timer to make the sub run a little after the game start key is pressed. That didn't work either. The only thing that makes the sub run is to use a keycode that contains "CheckLightSettings()".

Have any of you guys ever experienced a problem like this? I admit that my lighting is pretty complex but it seems like any time you add a call to run a sub it should run. The lighting includes a flasher that is set up to be a spotlight which is one of the lights that won't turn on.

Send me the table and I'll have a look to it (if you want).

I finally figured it out. I added the flashers for GI to a sub where they get turned off. I have another sub for turning the lights on but I had the GI flashers turning on in a different sub. Everything started working when I moved the GI flashers to the sub where the lights are turned on.

Over the years, I have added to the lighting I use in a piece mean fashion. It has progressed to a point where it has become very complex. I need to rethink the structure I use for the lighting but I think I can do that on my own. I will ask for help if I can't figure the best structure for it.

Thanks for offering JP!
