Bending Gfx - Page 2

This isnt what I meant. I meant like bending random parts of tiles on a level

Right, which could be done by rapidly changing the Z of that tile (somehow) then updating the board locally. Then setting it back when you're done. Trouble is, that'd just bend the tiles, not the NPC Image of a sign, or a door, or a tree, or a shopkeeper, or a beer...

well we could set each img (though it would take forever to do) with certain script to change with tiles. :/

Which is what the script I posted was for.

It causes a lot of lag when you are attempting to update the terrain using scripts. If you're trying to do it 'rapidly', it will never happen.

I'd feel bad for the npc server.

I tried to make a wave effect for my server by modifying the waterheight variable and updating the terrain every so often, and it lagged horribly

Maybe this feature will be added to GS3 along with my "playerkills()" function. XD

What 'feature'? People have given you code examples on how to do it already.

pixeldata(x,y,minlayer,maxlayer) - returns the pixel (array of floats, length 4: r,g,b,a) at the specified location, between the layers listed (works like the showimg layers, 0 to 4)

With such a function it would be possible to re-draw a section of the board "stretched".
Even better:
getimage(x,y,x0,y0,minlayer,maxlayer) - returns an image (just as if it was an actual png) of the data from x to x0 and y to y0, so you can warp this temporary clientside-only screenshotlet. Take a picture of the level and warp that.

it seems that lags players if there 6 or players watching and Okie, nonething works on that. There no way to read who just killed who.

GS3 X_X?

I don't see that as happeing.

I don't really see how that is relevant to this thread?

(Because Mr Omega over here's trying to make a weapon, I guess)

No, he was talking about this in an older thread. He wants to know who killed who using the default attack system. Using a custom system would make such detection easy to implement.
