Riddle me this.

Jadis:

Hey hey hey,

I made a script that isn't too complicated. I just love the radar sweep

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Jadis

if (playerenters) timeout = .1;

if (timeout) {

  this.1 = 200;

for (this.angle=0;this.angle<6.28;this.angle+=.314/8) {

 for (this.radius=0;this.radius<5;this.radius+=.1) {

   this.x = x+sin(this.angle)*this.radius;

   this.y = y+cos(this.angle)*this.radius;

   showimg this.1,picsgold.gif,this.x,this.y;

   this.1++;

 }

 sleep .05;

 }

}

---

You could also take out the sleep .05; line and change the image to whatever color you want and make a bad-looking version of a lighting effect

Jadis:

Ok one more

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Jadis

if (playerenters) {

  timeout = 1;

  this.1 = 200;

  this.angle = 0;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.1 = 200;

 for (this.angle=0;this.angle==this.angle;this.angle+=.  314/8) {

  for (this.radius=0;this.radius<5;this.radius+=.1) {

    this.x = x+sin(this.angle)*this.radius;

    this.y = y+cos(this.angle)*this.radius;

    showimg this.1,picsgold.gif,this.x,this.y;

    changeimgvis this.1,2;

    this.1++;

   if (this.1>=800) hideimg this.1-600;

  }

  sleep .05;

 }

  timeout = .05;

}

erm, picsgold.gif is a blank file with a gold palette......

[Brady2]

Jadis:

No it is a 1x1 image of a gold pixel.

[DarkPyro_2001]

It's a 'backpal' for pics1.png.

[Brady2]

Jadis:

God damnit I know what it is. If you are not using setbackpal picsgold.gif; then it is just a 1x1 image of a gold pixel with a gold palette.

You can also use:
showimg i,@arial@@.,x,y;
changeimgcolors i,0,1,1,1;
Since when using the text display option the changeimgzoom and changeimgcolor is seeable for everyone (These don't require special programming).

[Brady2]

Good point

[omni-m00gle]

Reminds me of comsat scanning from starcraft..

I was playing around with it and switched it to putexplosion with a radius of .5...it looked 3Dish..

very laggy ;/

[General]

of course, icepick tried to put on his server delteria, like he does with every NPC he comes across

DISCO DOTS!

if (playerenters) {
timeout = 1;
this.1 = 200;
this.angle = 0;
}
if (timeout) {
this.1 = 200;
for (this.angle=0;this.angle==this.angle;this.angle+=. 314/8) {
for (this.radius=0;this.radius<5;this.radius+=.1) {
this.x = x+sin(this.angle)*this.radius;
this.y = y+cos(this.angle)*this.radius;
showimg this.1,@arial@@.,this.x,this.y;
changeimgcolors this.1,random(0,1),random(0,1),random(0,1),random( 0,1);
changeimgvis this.1,2;
this.1++;
if (this.1>=800) hideimg this.1-600;
}
sleep .05;
}
timeout = .05;
}

It only lags if you like men.
