light/weather/particle effects

[MrOmega]

What are the names of the checkboxes in the f3 menu for these and can we use them directly to control how our scripts work or are we stuck with waiting till the player closes the f3 menu?

[Tigairius]

Boolean values: lighteffectsenabled, weathereffectsenabled, and particleeffectsenabled.

Example of usage:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  if (lighteffectsenabled) {
    showimg(1, this.x, this.y, "light2.png");
  }
}

you could use this script to find out what the gui names are, but from that, i dont know, hvnt tested it too much.

but if you use that, you would have to reconnect, no?

correct, but I currently have to use a timeout, using effect and a another variable ( so it doesn't constantly call the effect to show)

use playerenters event perhaps?
but for effects that you already are using a timeout, u could just add the if's

which is what I'm doing, do you by chance know the name of the F3 window? cause I can't find it on the gui explorer

External GUIs like to not belong to any parent objects, so finding the names is a tricky feat.

So, I have to use Guess and check...?

[DustyPorViva]

for (temp.i : GUIContainer.controls) echo(i.name);

If external windows are a problem, use v5.

[MrOmega]

Well the Options window is still external in V5

Oh my bad, I was thinking F2, heh... why not just call it the options window? HMMMM? Zero once taught me a way to echo the name of a GUI you clicked on, but sadly that was a long time ago and I can't remember how to do it, heh.

Options: OptDialogWindow2D

THANK YOU!

It works!

PHP Code:

function OptWeatherEffectsToggle2D.onAction()
{

  echo( OptWeatherEffectsToggle2D.checked);

} 


no more timeout loops!

If you used universe as a scope, would think that would get everything...maybe
