Changing TShowImg gani colors (formally TShowImg)

[Mark Sir Link]

I'm using a gani for a showimg and trying to manipulate the alpha, r,g, and b values.

However, this seems to have no effect on the gani.

Is it supposed to look like that or am I doing something wrong.

[Inverness]

Is playerlook == false in the TShowImg?

And it would be much more helpful if you could post the actual code.

This is a horrible thread title

actor.alpha=.5;

[Mark Sir Link]

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()
{
  with(findimg(333))
  {
    x = player.x - 1;
    y = player.y + 1;
    ani = player.ani;
    layer = 3;
    playerlook = true;
    attachtoowner = true;
    rotation = pi;
    red = 1;
    blue = .1;
    green = .2;
    alpha = .3;
    dir = player.dir;
  }
setTimer(.05);
}
function onTimeout()
{
  with(findimg(333))
  {
    ani = player.ani;
    rotation = pi;
    dir = player.dir;
  }
  setTimer(.05);
}

Was going to say this. Tshowimg.actor.prop

[Mark Sir Link]

saw HR's IM first, added actor.alpha = .3;

works now, thanks a bunch

[Mark Sir Link]

another question, is it possible to flip the ani rather than rotate it?

Trying to make a reflection of the player but it's currently impossible for any direction other than up/down

Unfortunately, no. It's been suggested many times.

[DustyPorViva]

Stefan said flipping will be possible in the next version.

BTW, it sounds like you're trying to do the same thing I was :P

Well, actually it's not impossible...there's someone who devs on Graal who knows how to do it...

And where was this done? I have never seen it done and I have tried before to do it. You can rotate, but you can't flip vertically/horizontally.

I'd have to tell you on AIM because I'm not allowed to put it out there like that.

[DustyPorViva]

Well, I'd say dismiss the possibility of a workaround. I think anything more than one line to pull this off would be way too much effort for something that could easily be supported. Any work around would probably involve loops and/or multiple images for one image.

[Mark Sir Link]

the only potential workaround I was able to think of was making the height negative, but I'm fairly certain that TShowImg has no height field anyway

@ Dusty: The idea was concocted by Ziplock for use in levels with ice, and I'm fairly certain he lifted the idea off of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I've made a function that flips images, but I'd rather have on built in.. It's also pretty inefficient and stuff.

Rescripted it in about 10 minutes... woohoo for highly inefficient & laggy workaround scripts!

PHP Code:

// NPC made by Tig
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.image = "door.png";
  flipHorizontal();
}

function flipHorizontal() {
  this.i = null;
  for (temp.w = 0; temp.w < getimgwidth(this.image); temp.w ++) {
    for (temp.h = 0; temp.h < getimgheight(this.image); temp.h ++) {
      showimg(200 + this.i, this.image, x - (w * 1/16), y + (h * 1/16));
      changeimgvis(200 + this.i, 3);
      changeimgpart(200 + this.i, w, h, 1, 1);
      this.i ++;
    }
  }
  hide();
}

function flipVerticle() {
  this.i = null;
  for (temp.w = 0; temp.w < getimgwidth(this.image); temp.w ++) {
    for (temp.h = 0; temp.h < getimgheight(this.image); temp.h ++) {
      showimg(200 + this.i, this.image, x + (w * 1/16), y - (h * 1/16));
      changeimgvis(200 + this.i, 3);
      changeimgpart(200 + this.i, w, h, 1, 1);
      this.i ++;
    }
  }
  hide();
}

function flipBoth() {
  this.i = null;
  for (temp.w = 0; temp.w < getimgwidth(this.image); temp.w ++) {
    for (temp.h = 0; temp.h < getimgheight(this.image); temp.h ++) {
      showimg(200 + this.i, this.image, x - (w * 1/16), y - (h * 1/16));
      changeimgvis(200 + this.i, 3);
      changeimgpart(200 + this.i, w, h, 1, 1);
      this.i ++;
    }
  }
  hide();
}

Care to share?

EDIT:

Well, I think I can slightly envision it now...

several showimgparts that would put 0,0, at max.x, max.y, work your way in...

My idea was layers + showani under layer = pretty cool reflection effect, which would be very similar to the effect in Pokemon.

Stefan apparently is using my idea, which would allow you to apply a negative value to stretchx/y, which would 'stretch' them in the opposite direction -- flipped.

As for how to flip manually, it would most likely involve a loop the size of the image width(or height, depending on what you're flipping) in pixels, and then cropping the image every 1 pixel and displacing each row of pixels yourself. It has been done before Graal even had rotation and such, but it's not very efficient. I don't even think it can be done with ganis.

You can use negative zoom to flip a gani.

but that would make you face the opposite direction instead of the same.

you could reverse the directions but not all heads have identical left and right views

Good point.

[xXziroXx]

UH OH, I think Inverness just released Stan's friends super mega secret that'll be life changing for all scripters!!!11!11!eleven

[DustyPorViva]

Changing the zoom to -1 just rotates it 180 degrees. The players shield is on the wrong side, for example.

I totally didn't just say that, oh wait...

OH NO!!! SIMILAR THINGS WERE POSTED!!!

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to waste such precious bandwidth.

That'll be 200 dollars.
