function onCreated() {

  this.state = 0;

}



function onWeaponFired() {

setTimer(.2);

}



function onTimeout() {

  showimg(200,light4.png,playerx+0.7-imgwidth(light4.png)/32,playery+1-imgheight(light4.png)/32);

  changeimgvis(200,3);

  changeimgcolors(200,1,.5,0,.9999);

  drawoverplayer();

  this.state=(this.state+1)%3;

  changeimgzoom(200,1+.02*this.state);

  setTimer(.2);

}

Doesnt work. At all, and I have NO idea why. It's meant to display a light effect over the player, but it's being a butch and not working. Could someone please explain to me why, so i dont give myself an aneurysm from the thinking.

light4.png needs to be in quotes. and I think you should use the new 'imgwidth' and height functions, I think they're something like getimgwidth("filename")

The changeimgvis call will make it draw over the player, this function is not needed/doesn't work in WNPCs.

Okay, it works, but not as intended.

It isnt being drawn as light, and I want it drawn underneath the player. I've added drawaslight(); but that doesnt seem to work, and I cant figure out a way to toggle it when i call WeaponFired().

I appreciate the help!

drawaslight() only affects the NPC's actual image, which in the case of a weapon NPC, is not at all useful.

You can modify where the image is displayed by changing it's layer, i.e. changeimgvis(index, 0); will draw underneath the player, 1 and 2 will draw above the player, 3 above the darkness (seteffect()) layer, 4 upwards on the GUI layer.

Problem is, is that drawing underneath the player will mean that the light effect is mostly shut out by any daynight-style system.

For drawing as a light you'd probably want to use changeimgmode() or something along those lines.
