Graal Forums - Player effects

I've been taught how to globally show player effects(zoom, alpha, rotation, etc...) via gani scripts. This was great... although a bit complicated. Not to mention it seemed buggy. Sometimes it wouldn't set the right values correctly, sometimes it didn't update... it just was a hassle. So after someone came to me for some help with the subject I came up with a script:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  enabledefmovement();

  if ((client.red+client.green+client.blue+client.alpha+client.rotation+client.zoom+client.stretchx+client.stretchy)==null) {

    client.red=1;

    client.green=1;

    client.blue=1;

    client.alpha=1;

    client.rotation=0;

    client.zoom=1;

    client.stretchx=1;

    client.stretchy=1;

  }

  onTimeout();

}



function onTimeout() {

  temp.effects={"red","green","blue","alpha","rotation","zoom","stretchx","stretchy"};

  player.attr[29]=client.red+1 SPC client.green+1 SPC client.blue+1 SPC client.alpha+1 SPC client.rotation+1 SPC client.zoom+1 SPC client.stretchx+1 SPC client.stretchy+1;

  for (i=0;i<temp.effects.size();i++) {

    player.attr[29][i]=client.(@ temp.effects[i]);

    for (pl:players) {

      pl.(@ temp.effects[i])=pl.attr[29].tokenize()[i]-1;

    }

    player.(@ temp.effects[i])=player.attr[29][i];

  }

  setTimer(0.05);

}

How does it work? Well instead of relying on a gani script, it simply goes through the player's client.effectvars, shoves them into an attr and then applies every players effects in a loop. The only thing you need to change is the clients appropriate client.string(and make sure every player has the weapon... or else they won't see any players effects):

client.red : 0-1 : changes the players red value
client.green : 0-1 : changes the players green value
client.blue : 0-1 : changes the players blue value
client.alpha : 0-1 : changes the players alpha value(transparency)
client.rotation : 0-pi*2(~6.28) : changes the players rotation
client.zoom : >0 : changes the players zoom(size)
client.stretchx : >0 : changes the players horizontal stretch
client.stretchy : >0 : changes the players vertical stretch

There is no need to touch the script at all... the only known problems I have seen so far is that if effects are set, players bodies are invisible until they move... but that's a problem with Graal and setting these effects in any way.
