Description:: Check if lampost is on (shining).
ⓘ
A lamp state is local to each client (see switchLight).

This command was originally designed to only work with CfgNonAIVehicles class "StreetLamp" only; since Arma 3 v1.92 this command was extended to work with street lights.
Groups:: Lights

Syntax:

lightIsOn lamppost

Parameters:

lamppost: Object

Return Value:

String - Can be one of:

"ON" - light is on
"OFF" - light is off
"AUTO" - applicable only to the light of type "StreetLamp" and is only on during the night.
"ERROR" - if command fails

Example 1:: if (lightIsOn nearestObject [player, "StreetLamp"] == "ON") then { hint "nightime"; };
Example 2:: _it = lightIsOn object 159582
Example 3:: if (count allMissionObjects "StreetLamp" == 0) then { hint "Objects compatible with 'lightIsOn' are not found."; } else { hint "'lightIsOn' compatible objects are found!"; };
