Just In Time - Remastered

Just In Time - Remastered (JITR)  is a custom solution for toggling lights using triggers and lightweight scripts. This solution allows mod authors to toggle lights on/off based upon the players location/path through a space. It's useful to toggle lights off that are outside the player's view as a way to work around the game's light limitations. Surpassing these limitations causes mesh and light flicker issues while moving around an area. JITR is a solution to this problem. It's still JIT, however, the way everything works has been completely remastered.

Though the intended purpose of JIT - Remastered is a solution for working around the engine's lighting limitations, any object reference can be filled into the arrays. Therefore, authors/users can implement them in various ways. For example, one could switch out a burning fireplace with a non-burning fireplace at specific times of the day by using the Timer Controller. Or one could enable specific enemies or bosses based on the players route through an area. That's not to say there aren't other ways to do these things, however, JITR can be used to do several things with an easy and quick setup.

What's the difference between JIT and JITR?

Terminology

• []JIT: "LightingBall" & "LightingBallController"

  []JITR: "Light Controller" (Controller for short) & "Light Controller Trigger" (Trigger for short)

To use JIT - Remastered, users should understand the terminology. The original names from JIT were a bit confusing to me when I first started using it. Therefore, JITR updates the names to signify what they're doing. Controllers control the light references. Triggers control when the toggling actions happen; "triggered" by the player. To stay consistent, this terminology is used everywhere from the documentation to the scripts.

Reference Limits

• []JIT: 4

  []JITR: 128 (technically)

JIT limited the number of how many things that could be connected to 4 because of the way the scripts were written. JIT - Remastered has been rewritten to use an array in place of individual reference Properties. Therefore, JITR is technically limited to 128 references Controller/Trigger. It was decided to not limit the array for expandability, however, users are recommend to use a realistic number of references per Controller/Trigger. Additionally, users have the option to fade or pop in/out the attached references; something missing from the original JIT.

Door Triggers

Currently, the Door Trigger feature from JIT is not implemented. The code is there but it's
