flickering light

ShadoWarrior911 · #1 03-04-2002, 02:19 AM

Please help me design an Npc of a light effect of a light that flickers by changing in magnification slightly. I have tried and tried, but to no avail, and i have only recently started to learn c++(which I know Graal Uses in its own way). Also, would it be possible/easier to do this with a .gani?

this.light += random(-0.2,0.2);
if (!(this.light in |1,3|))
this.light = 2;
setzoomeffect this.light;
timeout = 0.05;

This may be rather long, but, I'm at work and had to do it quickly. You can change it or do whatever you want with it. It's attached.

You could even use params with the ganis. That way you could just set the gani as like light4.png and than light4.png or something....

These scripts are from g2k1 and must be given full credit to.

NPC Code:



if (created)

  dontblock;

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) {

  setcoloreffect 1,1,0,0.4;

  drawaslight;

  this.light = 2;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.light += random(-0.2,0.2);

  if (!(this.light in |1,3|))

    this.light = 2;

  setzoomeffect this.light;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

NPC Code:



if (created)

  dontblock;

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) {

  setcoloreffect 1,0,0,0.99;

  drawaslight;

  this.light = 2;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.light += random(-0.2,0.2);

  if (!(this.light in |1,3|))

    this.light = 2;

  setzoomeffect this.light;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

}

That one would skip when it gets above 3 or below 1

Why don't you just do...

NPC Code:



// NPC made by Rob Getashu

if (playerenters) {

  setcoloreffect 215,0,1,0.99;

  setzoomeffect 2;

  dontblock;

  drawaslight;

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters || timeout) {

  setzoomeffect random(0.1,2);

  timeout = random(0.1,0.5);

}
