im trying to make a sick script (desease)
but i need to add a trail i seen it on a few servers eg: graal legacy, interitus and in a AEON event. i wondered how i create the trail
could anybody help me on this please? thank you

I'm not sure what you mean by 'trail'... elaborate?

[Pimmeh]

I think he means particles that slowly fade after the player leaves a spot, like the remnants of an aura.

Maybe also something like the blood on Era?

[Shakaraja]

none of those..
i meen like a special trail part of a person its like when u get hit on era with a bottle my a NPC in some quest thing then u go drunk or something like that,
then when u walk everything slowly fades like
instead of instant moving (---->) it goes trailed (----> ---> --> -> >)
do i need to create a video to show what i meen xD?

I know what you mean. You call that motion blur. Its actually a bug with the tile layers alpha value. Well, Stefan once said its not a bug, I still think it is. Basically, what you do is change the alpha value of the default tile layer.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  tilelayers[0].alpha = .5;
  player.gmap.tilelayers[0].alpha = .5;
} 


It has to be set below 1 and above 0. How strong the motion blur is depends on the alpha value. Smaller = stronger.

alright thats exactly what i ment, thank you crow
but how do i reset it putting it back to 1?

Actually, you have to do so in a timeout, I believe.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  onTimeout();
}

function onTimeout() {
  tilelayers[0].alpha = .5;
  player.gmap.tilelayers[0].alpha = .5;
  setTimer(0.05);
}
