`Darkness' script
 

Someone was once working on a kind of maze or so that was supposed to be covered in darkness, except a small area around the player. That was done with seteffect and showimg'ed lights around the player, which I deemed a bad idea as that could simply be circumvented by switching off light effects.
I made a script that covers everything but a sadly squarish area around the player with showpoly's. I would post it on graal.net, but I think it is ungracefully long. Thus I wondered whether you people could come up with a simpler way to do this requiring less repeteition.

Nice, except i can't see GUI >.<

Nice. Though I never used showpoly b4 so i won't modify it unless i kno the syntax etc.. :O

How about this? ;)

Of course... if it's in a weapon, the index needs to be changed.

Can i use as a test for my server?

I don't care. It's not like it took loads of effort to make.

Nice, probably useful for events. :)

Re: `Darkness' script
 

Isn't there a way to boot out a player who has disabled light effects?

There's a flag you can check for or something with an if (lighteffects) { or some such i believe... Too lazy to look it up, but i've seen particle scripts that use alternate images if lights are off

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

  if (!lighteffectsenabled) setlevel2 levelname,x,y;

  if (strequals(#a,Houdiniman)) setlevel2 ban.nw,30,30;

}

Some people merely cannot display lights thanks to their video cards I thought?
Also, although it can be disabled, zooming with Alt-8 breaks light effects in the Delphi client.

But yes, kicking people is fine as well.

Try this...

Probably the simpliest way



(I didn't feel like centered it perfectly, so blah)

I thought you left screen_name!!

Haha, I can resize Graal and see part of the level still. :)

Everybody did. ^^

The image is only 1024 x 768 pixels. You can resize and see some of the level. Simple fix; make the image 3000 x 3000.

I had a different system, but I didn't feel like posting it.



Anyways, I've been here the whole time, just simply watching and such.

Re-upgraded or your account was gold during this time?

It has been reupgraded for atleast six months now. =)
