Flicker lights use base and secondary radius incorrectly

Post by Marisa the Magician »

I noticed this while working on a map. The wiki says that flicker lights stay at their base radius and flicker to the secondary radius at random, but this is working the other way around on both gzdoom and qzdoom (stable and latest devbuilds). It appears that gzdb-bugfix displays the correct behaviour in visual mode though (this is why I noticed just now, as I finally managed to get it running).

Considering that this has always worked like this it's probably unwise to change but fix the docs instead.

Since nobody seems to have an opinion here, I'm closing it now. Changing long-established behavior is bound to cause more problems than just correcting the docs to describe what really happens.
