Moving Light effecs.

[Torankusu_2002]

torankusu:
I know there must be math involved, and I don't know what kind, except for maybe sin and cos.

I don't know (haven't learned) them, so if anyone would be willing to help with my learning of how to move light effects, whether it be a document or brief explanations of suggested terms, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

All you need is showimg and changeimgcolors - the movement then is up to you. You could do:

NPC Code:

---

if(playerenters) timeout=0.05;

if(timeout){

 timeout=0.05;

 this.hi++;

 showimg 0,light2.png,this.hi,30;

 changeimgcolors 0,1,1,1,0.99;

}

Or you could go more complicated and use trigonometry and stuff. There's no simple answer here.

I knew that much, but I was wondering about circles or something similar to it.

Just some simple trigonometry. Given the acute angle of a right-angled triangle and the length of the hypotenuse, can you deduce the other two sides?

p-theorum or something. I forgot it, and I was trying to remember it the other day.

I should of brought home my math book.

Circles, radius and angles are fun to play with.

Explore, take apart, understand, then make your own
circle, sin/coc/arctan stuff
using scripts i posted here

mesmerising, isn't it?

math is cool .... at least the part i can sort of understand!

I looked all of that up in my math book. I'll try to do the problems later.

A simple 1

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters||timeout){

showimg 1,light2.png,this.x,this.y;

changeimgcolors 1,random(.1,1),random(.1,1),0,.99;

this.x=random(0,60);

this.y=random(0,60);

timeout=0.05;}

i think thats right not sure x.x
