vasek7: If you want turn street lamp off in ArmA2, the syntax is:
ID959522=position player nearestObject 959522
ID959522 switchLight "off"; Posted on September 16, 2013
Killzone_Kid: In ArmA3 this command is broken [1], use setHit instead: _lamp = nearestObject [player, "Lamps_base_F"]; _lamp setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0.97]; //off _lamp setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0]; //on
