Motion Blur

[wild8900]

How do people achieve motion blur on graal? For example, when you are drunk on zodiac. Im not asking for a script, I just want to know, how did they do it? Im thinking they took a screenshot and added alpha transparency then put it onto the screen.

i was told its a "bug" when setting tilelayers[0].alpha in a timeout

It's a "bug" when setting tilelayers[0].alpha to anything other than what it should be.

[projectigi]

well i think the strength of the effect depends on to what you set it
i guess its 0 - 1
dunno whats the strongest though, i would guess 1 is the strongest

[wild8900]

Thats it? Wow I was expecting some huge explanation and stuff. I want to test this out.

I tried this script but got no result

//#CLIENTSIDE
if (created||timeout){
tilelayers[0].alpha=0.7;
timeout=0.05;
}

I think you might want to try GS2 :o

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  onTimeOut();
}

function onTimeOut() {
  tilelayers[0].alpha = 0.7;
  setTimer(0.05);
}

Gah GS2 doesnt like me.
Thanks man Ill try this.

EDIT: Still no luck. Btw, I placed it in a weapon npc, can that be the reason?

EDIT2: I was on a gmap.... so thats why it didnt work. Thanks for the help guys. <3

Yea, contiga told me about this. I used it to create a stoner gas on Era, I had to re-name it though... Don't let pissy globals on your server, ever. :]

[Skyld]

You don't need a timeout for it @ Angel_Light, wild8900.

You should post a small sample/screen shot for those of us who don't have access to client

[wild8900]

oh here, this is for those of you who havnt seen it before.
On this one I had a script that spins the screen in an oval motion.

[excaliber7388]

Whoa that's neat

[xXziroXx]

Funny how scripts can be made awesome due to a scripting error/bug.

[wild8900]

I wonder how people thought of this. Maybe someone was bored and decided to see if they can set the alpha of of the tile layers. Who was the first to find this "bug"?

[Admins]

It's not a bug The alpha value is for making upper tile layers transparent (tile layer support is not finished yet). You can also change red/green/blue, or x/y for moving the ground without moving objects. For gmaps may be you can use player.gmap.tilelayers

Interesting idea

Sorry to have missed that - looks really cool. I can think of some really neat "tunnel vision" things to do with it

Hmm..
When I change the x or y of it, I'm not blocked by any tiles.
Is that normal?

I thought you saw that on Era before? Andy added gas shells/tear gas npcs that did that very same thing months ago.

Normally it is only changing the display of the tiles, the blocking behaviour should stay the same
