        /*

        wait( 0.01 );
        shack_light setLightIntensity( intensity );
        wait( 0.2 );
        shack_light setLightIntensity( 0 );
        wait( 1 );
 
        timer = 2;
        timer *= 20;
        
        for ( i = 0; i < timer; i++ )
        {
                new_intensity = intensity * ( 1 / ( timer - i ) );
                new_intensity *= randomfloatrange( 0.3, 1.7 );
                shack_light setLightIntensity( new_intensity );
                wait( 0.05 );
        }
        */ 
 
        timer = 2;
        timer *= 20;
        for ( i = 0; i < timer; i++ )
        {
                new_intensity = intensity * ( 1 / ( timer - i ) );
                new_intensity *= randomfloatrange( 0.3, 1.7 );
                shack_light setLightIntensity( new_intensity );
                wait( 0.05 );
        }
        
        shack_light setLightIntensity( intensity );
}

You can make a flickering light in EffectsEd, then spawn and loop that effect in your map.
