I'm running a sound cue of an alarm going off and repeating in appr. half second intervals for 30 seconds. I want to sync a light cue to the sound so there is a pulse of light with every sound of the alarm. 
There is no loop option for light cues like for sound cues that I can see. I could of course have multiple light cues for this but 'm sure there must be better way. What would be the simplest way to achieve this effect?

Hello Hordur

The best way to do is indeed to use multiple cues. I like to use Group cues set to “start first child and go to next cue”, then I fill the Group with Light cues set to auto-continue. Then, the last cue in the Group is a Start cue which re-triggers the first Light cue in the Group.

This effectively turns a Group cue into a step-based lighting effect.

Thanks Sam. 
This works well after I spent some time tweaking the parameters.
