As mentioned above - you need to have the building in a group - but separate from the generator.
Then when the generator group (18) is destroyed - use that to turn off the lights in the second group (the radio building).
The way you have it written now you are turning off lights of a generator which doesn't have lights anyway.
If you just added the radio building to the generator group the event would never trigger because the building would need to be destroyed as well.
So you need 2 groups, one to trigger and one to turn off the lights then you should be OK.
Or alternately, just use the SSN of the generator to trigger the group for the radio building.

Don't get confused with group, and light group...looks like there is a difference...
The action says light group 0 off
I tried using building in group 10, and
Actions:
Turn Light Group 10 Off
but it didn't work..so I took a look at SPmap 08..Radio Aidid, and they used what I did in my test map..
Building not in a group..and..Turn Light Group 0 Off

So using
Turn Light Group 0 Off
turns off lights in all buildings that have them in the map? How do you differentiate?

This is how Nova did it, in Radio Aidid...I'll do some more testing soon..

Thanks, i figured it out, thnaks.
They way is do, is the way that EE wrote.
The Radio station don't have to be in a group.
EXample:
******************************
SSN 1 : Generator (In group 18)
SSN 64 : Radio Building (NOT in a Group)
Event 60: dlg008......Lights Out, Lets move upstairs
Triggers:
Group 18 has been destroyed
Actions:
Play dialog ID: dlg008
Turn Light Group 0 Off
*********************************
SO, thanks for the help.

LMAO..well, we have to learn as well, we are just like everyone else...it's not as if we have access to Nova's secrets...
All our knowledge comes from patient testing.....but, so far, I seem to have no questions...
