I'm working on my chief's new car, and he has a Core, external siren and Howler. I'm using this for intersection clearing, making both Arges sweep from 45 to 30 degrees, and using Dozer and Piercer both for it. Sensory overload? Simply move out of the way!
Why create the Virtual Input at all?? (unless you're planning on having a "second action" occur after the 8 seconds -- like activating all flood lighting after Panic runs 8 sec). If not, then there's no need for the virtual -- just create the event exactly like you did and select the lights/pattern(s)/and property (Press ON-Release OFF) and duration (8 sec) and you're done. OR....if using an external switch to activate it - simply add "AND ACM input#__ is set to ON" to your event rules....and you're done! **NO offense intended, but you REALLY seem to like Virtuals....lol (Don't overcomplicate what can already often be complicated enough)
