Weapon Heat Sink [probably broken]

Description
In this script, the lights will light up, if your weapons are firing (turrets, gatlings, everything)

All Lights can be used (even Spotlights), modded ones most probably too.
The script works with large ships and small ships.
Only lights with the prefix [HeatGun] will be used by the script, but you can change it in the script.
No prefix means all lights are affected.

By default all weapons will be considered, but you can let the script check
only for those with the prefix. (the same one as above)
All guns, modded ones too, should work.
->you could for example have one script for your turrets and one for the rocket launchers.

If no guns are shooting, the lights will still glow slighty.
Also they will glim slightly for a more natural look.
You can change and disable that though.

No timer needed !

All variables are easily accessible and configurable in the script. (see picture above)

Guide for setting up the script:
1. Load Script into ProgrammableBlock, save & exit
2. Name your lights with the prefix [HeatGun], e.g. [HeatGun]InteriorLight1

I think it is broken, the PB says the script is too complex

Captpatrick not a bad idea

Update v2.1:
Script now starts automatically.

@Gray
If the script is running, it should display the number of used weapons and lights.
The ownership also needs to be the same for every block.
And if the script calculate with all weapons, but only one is firing, the lights will barely light up.
Sometimes it's just hard to see if the lights actually light up in sun.

Now I tried gatling turrets, and those dont work either. What's wrong?!?!

All of my Int. Turrets are firing, but the heat sink doesn't work? Please help!

Now we have a power usage heatsink, a thruster power heatsink, and now a weapon heatsink. Anything else left to be tapped into some glowy-bits? Howabout one that is based off the ship's jump drive charge level? All heated up and glowing right after a jump, to a dim, cooled off shimmer when fully recharged.
