Thomas Edison VX, an enhanced version of Light Effects VX script! Options

Thomas Edison VX

Author: BulletXt (bulletxt@gmail.com)
Version: 0.1
Original credit goes to Kylock


This script is an enhanced version of the well known Light Effects written from Kylock. I decided to pick it up, fix some things and add some new important features. The most important one is that you can enable/disable a light through a switch call based on its type. For example you can make all FIRE lights go on/off with a switch, and with another switch make all GROUND lights go on/off. There are also new lights, for a total of 12. The script is also smart when using KGC Day Night system! When it's day, the lights keep off and when it's night they automatically go on! Instructions are inside the script.

IMPORTANT: if you are already using Light Effect VX script, you can simply replace it with this one. Your lights will still work!

Download Demo: here
If you directly want the script and the light picture needed, you can get them: here and here


Alternate Script Version: this is an alternate version of Thomas Edison VX script. It has the following features added:
- Size you want \S[x] where x is a digit from 0 to 9
- Is it flickering or not \F
- What ever color you want \R[x1] \G[x1] \B[x1] \T[x2] where x1 is a digit from 0 to 510 and x2 is a digit from 0 to 255
For download and more info: here
The Alternate Script comes with NO support. Don't ask for help, don't complain. It will be ignored. The author has released it "as is" with no support.


Cheers,
BulletXt

This is some epic stuff man. I'll be sure to add you to my credits list.

The only thing I could really ask for is if it would be possible for the lights to have a more pronounced effect. Like a map is nigh to pitch black except for the part around a campfire or something...

I got a question about the light script.. how i can make an event only appear in phase 0? i wanna make the windows of a house light the floor when its phase 0.. because it's when the sun is stronger, i keep trying but i can't.

[sorry for grammar errors, .. ]

Look at it this way. It's morning when KGC_DAY_NIGHT_SCRIPT_VARIABLE variable is 3. It's night when it's 1 and 2. This is enough to understand how to handle your request And don't forget to read the script intructions, especially the Tips & Tricks section. You will probably need that to accomplish your request.

What about Kylock's Time System? Almost same as KGC Day/Night...
Can I get support for that?

This is better..
Great job, It's really nice.

I would use it but I already have way too many systems.

What do you mean? You don't need to have the day night system. That's just an additional feature the script supports in case you have that system

[shadow44]

this is nice.


i was wondering? can you make a script that a light on the player is that possable i'm just wondering?

[Khev]

@shadow44: You mean like a flashlight or something? Like just a circle in the middle of the screen surrounding the main character so that he won't see the whole screen? i.e. in a cave or something.

Hi everyone,

I had some free time on my hand so I started playing with your script (Thomas Edison VX) and I have come up with something very interesting...
I rewrite it in such a way that you can use functions similar to those in messages.

You can now decide
- If it is flickering or not \F
- What size you want \S[x] where x is a digit from 0 to 9 (Recommended up to 5)
- Your own type \K[FIRE] or \K[FLAME] and turn them ON/OFF using switches. But first you need to define it in TYPE_HASH at the top of the script. I guess it is not case sensitive.
- What ever color you want \R[x1] \G[x1] \B[x1] \T[x2] where x1 is a digit from 0 to 510 and x2 is a digit from 0 to 255
- If it will fadeout or fadein after x frame \O[x] and \I[x]

But the switches to turn ON/OFF FIRE, GROUND, LIGHT or TORCH have been removed

Thanks for your work, I don't have time to test it now so please give more details to users. For example, does it support all features of Thomas Edison VX script? If it doesn't, please name the script as "an alternate script" since it's not Thomas Edison VX script + new features

Once you test it enough I'll be happy to include it in main thread

Only thing that I can think of to improve is to have each light actually affect visibility... Heh... Probably take a thousand lines of script though...

Can you give some example?

Uhh... Not really an example... But think of it like this... A map is completely dark, except you have a few lights around and the area around them is visible, slowly becoming less and less so until it fades into blackness... Does that help explain it?

Wow! That's some pretty handy features right there. I need to try this version too. You might want to make another post for this by itself.

something like a fading feature? its possible, i'll see what I can do... Done, but it does not work with flickering, though. Update the post...
