flickering light
 

Please help me design an Npc of a light effect of a light that flickers by changing in magnification slightly. I have tried and tried, but to no avail, and i have only recently started to learn c++(which I know Graal Uses in its own way). Also, would it be possible/easier to do this with a .gani?

{full rights preserved to graal2001 i think lol}
if (created)
dontblock;
//#CLIENTSIDE
if (playerenters) {
setcoloreffect 1,1,0,0.4;
drawaslight;
this.light = 2;
timeout = 0.05;
}
if (timeout) {
this.light += random(-0.2,0.2);
if (!(this.light in |1,3|))
this.light = 2;
setzoomeffect this.light;
timeout = 0.05;
}

yeah :P

a lot easier

Thanks

You could even use params with the ganis. That way you could just set the gani as like light4.png and than light4.png or something....

lol i wrote all right reserved caus i didnt make it its graal 2001's
because i didnt want some ******* people to say "you stole it from graal 2001 you noobie npc stealer" lol a p2p server can use it without any probs i think

These scripts are from g2k1 and must be given full credit to.

NPC Code:

---

if (created)

  dontblock;

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) {

  setcoloreffect 1,1,0,0.4;

  drawaslight;

  this.light = 2;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.light += random(-0.2,0.2);

  if (!(this.light in |1,3|))

    this.light = 2;

  setzoomeffect this.light;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

NPC Code:

---

if (created)

  dontblock;

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) {

  setcoloreffect 1,0,0,0.99;

  drawaslight;

  this.light = 2;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.light += random(-0.2,0.2);

  if (!(this.light in |1,3|))

    this.light = 2;

  setzoomeffect this.light;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

That one would skip when it gets above 3 or below 1

Why don't you just do...

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Rob Getashu

if (playerenters) {

  setcoloreffect 215,0,1,0.99;

  setzoomeffect 2;

  dontblock;

  drawaslight;

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters || timeout) {

  setzoomeffect random(0.1,2);

  timeout = random(0.1,0.5);

}
