AutoLight Reborn, Draw lights, shadows, spots and eventlights!! Options

[wild_bill236]

how do you make an event or item where when you enter a cave it's dark, if you have a torch it will light up around you and the rest of the cave will still be black?

Excelent script, thank you SojaBird. But I have a question, how I can call an event so that the light has less opacacity, I tiried with this but it not work:

AL.light("Light", 50, 1, true)


greetings!!

No help?? incredible...

@Lord_Szekelys

Hey hey,
I can understand what causes the confusion.
The instructions aren't totaly clear.

To change the opacity of the light dynamicly, you'll have to call the next call-script function:

CODE

AL.light("opacity", 50)

If you want to set the opacity to 50 by default, you can just change the script-parameters, which can be found at the customization block.

CODE

#--------------------------#
# Customization AutoLights #
#--------------------------#

(!!Remember: The range of the opacity is 0-255. 50% transparent corresponds to a opacity value of 128.)



I'll do a quick rundown on how to use and read the instructions for the call-scripts.

CODE

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Call Script                                                                  #
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# - AL.mode(val)                 #                                             #
# - AL.light(parm, val)          # parm: name, opacity, blend, visible         #
# - AL.shadow(parm, val)         # parm: name, opacity, blend, visible         #
# - AL.spot(parm, val)           # parm: name, opacity, blend, visible         #
# - AL.flicker(parm, val)        # parm: opacity, width, height, x, y          #
#                                #                                             #
# - EL.bitmap(val, index = nil)  #                                             #
# - EL.color(val, index = nil)   #                                             #
# - EL.opacity(val, index = nil) #                                             #
# - EL.blend(val, index = nil)   #                                             #
# - EL.visible(val, index = nil) #                                             #
# - EL.zoom(val, index = nil)    #                                             #
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

The parts which start with AL are for changing values on the AutoLight.
The parts which start with EL are for changing values in EventLights (seperate or all).

To change the mode of the AutoLight, call the next function with a value, repesenting the new mode (availible modes can be found at the customization block)

CODE

AL.mode(val)

To change a parameter on the light settings, use the next function

CODE

AL.light(parm, val)

The parameter variable is one of the following: "name", "opac", "blend" or "visible".
The value will be the new value of the choosen parameter.
This explanation also accounts for:

CODE

AL.shadow(parm, val)

CODE

AL.spot(parm, val)

For the flicker settings, use:

CODE

AL.flicker(parm, val)

Useable parameters for this, is one of the following: "opacity", "width", "height", "x" or "y".


For event-lights, custom dedicated functions need to be called to change just one parameter.

CODE

EL.bitmap(val, index = nil)
EL.color(val, index = nil)
EL.opacity(val, index = nil)
EL.blend(val, index = nil)
EL.visible(val, index = nil)
EL.zoom(val, index = nil)

For each of the dedicated functions, the first value parameter will hold the new value of the changing parameter.
The second (optional) variable, can hold the index of the eventlight that needs to be changed.
When the second variable isn't set, it'll change the eventlight that is applied on the event from where the function is called*.

*Additional info: The call-script block is called from an event. If this event has an event-light applied to it, this event-light will be changed.




Hope this'll help you out
Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Thank you so much, SojaBird.
I had not been here, because I thought nobody would answer me.
Your explanation was very clear and concise. Now I've started using again your great script.
Thank you very much again.
