Clouds

nyghtGT · #1 02-22-2002, 02:39 PM

Here is a little script I made for an little Graal Omive i am making:

NPC Code:



NPC Code:


// NPC made by NyghtGT

if (created) {

  setimg smoke.gif;

  this.speed=0.2;  // Increase to go faster

  this.startx=x;

  this.starty=y;

  timeout=1;

  drawoverplayer;

  dontblock;

}

if (timeout) {

  x-=this.speed;

  updown();

  if (this.updown=1) {

    y=y;

  } else {

    if (this.updown=2) {

      y-=0.2;

    } else {

      y+=0.2;

    }

  }

  poscheck();

  timeout=0.12;

}

// Functions

function updown() {

  this.updown=int(random(0,3));

}

function poscheck() {

  if (x<=2) {

    x=62;

    y=int(random(0,64));

    sleep 1;

    this.x=x;

    this.y=y;

  }

}

I had to use smoke.gif for know till i can make me some better cloud images. But what it does is the movie starts and the clouds come in ... and blah blah blah, you'll just have to wait,

. I know this script is very basic but does it seem to be ok for my purposes ?

Yes it does, but you might want to have a varying speed for different clouds

don't be retarded, use arrays.

TDK_RC6 · #6 02-23-2002, 06:58 AM

arrays would work best, but randomize it though

zallus-k · #7 02-23-2002, 08:00 AM

Want a better cloud graphic? Here:

You should make it translucent, but then put a whole lot of them at one place and randomize the speeds.

why should they have different speed? wind blows the same speed for every cloud...

well I was thinking, in response to what neomaximus said, I could have foreground clouds moving faster then clouds further behind them ...

Someone didn't pay much attention in geography did they!!!
the wind is not a constant speed all over, clouds move at vary speeds due to their height in the atmosphere, i could go into it but there aint much point!
if wind was a constant thing then dont you think that everywhere around the world the wind would be exactly the same???

(reminds you about warm and cold fronts)

not around the world but here the clouds are at the same height and at the same place so => same speed

In this level *hint hint* the clouds are at the same high. I do not mean th real world...

btedji · #19 02-24-2002, 10:43 AM

well, no, he's got you again.

You could have the level like this:

<cloud>
<cloud>
<cloud>

-----------------------------------

note the 'clouds' at different heights.

[edit]the clouds were at different spots, not ontop of each other in the text box.

[/edit]

Saga2001 · #22 02-25-2002, 10:23 PM

hahaha i have this ub3r l33t weather system, it has all 4 seasons, and it has cool things like in winter, snow can do flurries, where it does a quick circle and returns to its normal path, like its wind blown.
