Entity MaterialFlashInvoke

From CryWiki

entity:MaterialFlashInvoke(number, number, number, string [, extra args])

Description

Invokes a flash function on a material.

Arguments

1. ??? (Seems to be always 0)
2. Submaterial id (0-based, so if the material layer is 1 in the editor, use 0 here)
3. ??? (Seems to be always 0)
4. Function name
5. Arguments to the function

Example

local ent = System.GetEntityByName("MySpecialEntity");
ent:MaterialFlashInvoke(0, 5, 0, "flashFunction", "argument", 123);

Notes

For this example you will need an entity with a submaterial on layer 6, which holds a flash animation.

All it will do is call 'flashFunction("argument", 123)' in the flash file so you can handle it there.
