A little lighting effect I made for single levels. You simply put the code in an NPC in the level or place it in a class and join it, the choice is yours really. You can have more than one light source in a level, but it's not gonna do anything advanced, just merely overlaps(and when played with, you can get some nice looking effects out of it). I use it for just aesthetic reasons, not logical. Like in my screenshot I'm not using it to show light coming from a window, but just to create some nice looking effects.
I should note that even though it does a lot of looping, it only does so when you enter the level and it is not noticeable at all(at least in my experience, and I run on a pretty damn terrible computer, and in my level I'm using two).
Anyways, here's the code, and an image attachment of it in effect:
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerenters() {
// These are tiles that light will 'pass through'... add stuff like vases(that can change
// blocking) here. I also have the window tiles in there... so you can have a light source
// coming from the windows, you might want to remove that
temp.nonblocking={0x2AC,0x2AD,0x2BC,0x2BD,0x30C,0x30D,0x30E,0x30F,0x31C,0x31D,0x31E,0x31F};
temp.opacity=.5; // how opaque the shadow will be
temp.checks=300; // how many checks to perform, careful not to exceed limit loop
// NOTHING TO EDIT BELOW THIS
temp.seg=(pi*2)/checks;
temp.poly={0,0,0,64,64,64,64,0,0,0};
for (i=0;i<checks+1;i++) {
for (j=0;j<64;j+=.5) {
if (onwall(x-sin((i*seg))*j,y-cos((i*seg))*j)) {
if (!(tiles[x-sin((i*seg))*j,y-cos((i*seg))*j] in nonblocking)) {
this.newpoly={int((x-sin((i*seg))*j)+.5),int((y-cos((i*seg))*j)+.5)};
break;
}
}
}
poly.add(this.newpoly[0]);
poly.add(this.newpoly[1]);
}
poly.add(0);
poly.add(0);
showpoly(200,poly);
changeimgcolors(200,0,0,0,opacity);
changeimgvis(200,0);
}
Sorry for the bad screenshot... I don't know how to do a full level screenshot in Graalv5.
