seteffect

[pig132]

Is it possible to have seteffect for just one area of a level? Like, for seteffect over a house..that part a color, the rest of the level be normal?

No, But you could simulate it with a big white image, and color it accordingly. Then use transparency mode (mode = 1 I believe).

PHP Code:

//Serverside 
function onCreated() {
  setimg("some_white_image_thatyou_made.png");
  dontblock();
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  drawaslight();
  this.red = 0; this.green = 0; this.blue = .5; this.alpha = .5;
  setcoloreffect(this.red,this.green,this.blue,this.alpha);
  seteffectmode(1);
} 


Could also be done with showpoly too, might even be more flexible

PHP Code:


//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerEnters() {
  this.red = 0; this.green = 0; this.blue = .5; this.alpha = .5;
  this.wd = 10; //How many tiles wide?
  this.ht = 10; //How many tiles long?
  showpoly(200,{this.x,this.y,this.x+this.wd,this.y,this.x+this.wd,this.y+this.ht,this.x,this.y+this.ht});
  changeimgvis(200,3);
  changeimgcolors(200,this.red,this.green.this.blue,this.alpha);
  changeimgmode(200,1);
}

The showpoly would be the best way.

[pig132]

Yeah, i tried it.. But when i try setting the alpha it stays set to .99 (pure white).

[Angel_Light]

have you messed with seteffectmode()?

[pig132]

No, i kept everything the same but this.alpha

Try this alternate code, it seems to work better for some reason:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerEnters() {
  this.red = 0;
  this.green = 0;
  this.blue = .5;
  this.alpha = .5;
  this.wd = 10; //How many tiles wide?
  this.ht = 10; //How many tiles long?
  showpoly(200,{this.x,this.y,this.x+this.wd,this.y,this.x+this.wd,this.y+this.ht,this.x,this.y+this.ht});
  with(findimg(200)) {
    red = thiso.red;
    green = thiso.green;
    blue = thiso.blue;
    alpha = thiso.alpha;
    layer = 3;
    mode = 1;
  }
}

The seteffect thing is now just a fullscreen-showpoly with mode 3.

Update: fixed the description on the wiki.
