whats exactly not working? The code you're using doesn't work because you set active to true in update, then right on the next line, it becomes false. you have to set a timer, or have it delay some how so that you can actually see the light.

Your code doesn't work as you explain as stated by kennypu, but here is a quick example of how you could make it:

// Our light source public var lightSource : Light;

// Speed of the flicker public var flickerSpeed : int = 10;

// Lets store the flicker time, such that we don't have to calculate it more than once private var flickerTime : float = 0.0f; // Rest before next flicker private var flickerRestTime : float = 0.0f;

function Awake() { // Lets calculate the time between each flicker flickerTime = 1.0 / flickerSpeed; flickerRestTime = flickerTime; }

function Update() { // If we get button up, then lets reset it all to default if(Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1")) { lightSource.enabled = false; flickerRestTime = flickerTime; }

 // If we are holding down the button, then
 if(Input.GetButton("Fire1"))
 {
     // subtract the time since last frame
     flickerRestTime -= Time.deltaTime;

     // If the time is less than 0, then lets make the light turn on/off
     if (flickerRestTime &lt; 0.0f)
     {
         // Set the light source to the opposite of what it was before
         lightSource.enabled = !lightSource.enabled;

         // Reset the time
         flickerRestTime = flickerTime;
     }
 }

}
