Oh, this is really nice! I tried using this script to make a light-effect following the player (meant to be a lantern) and it worked perfectly. Good job!

Could we have some screenies of what things can be done with this script please

Yea I'd like some screens

Version 1.0.3
Custom Y bug fixes

As well some screenies.
The screenies show some new features that can be included if somebody wants (2 pictures, 1 light map and 1 normal one). Also a 4-directional feature could be done...
Anyway, just make all the things ya want. Like an arc for an angle or a nifty belt, an evil spell or a raincloud above a hero's head, a hole under the feet of the actor or just a simple shadow...

FG,
SojaBird.

Could you make a demo, id like to see it in action.
if its a pain, dont bother

can make a demo please?

I'll soon be making a demo or vid

Comment
Rate: Ok

I don't understand how to use it please post a demo or someone help me.

*facepalm*

How can you rate it if you didn't even know how to use it?

I don't think anyone will care about your script ratings anyway. People will choose scripts for themselves based on their personal needs. If you don't like a script, you should give suggestions on how to improve it. You've been putting up a lot of spam otherwise.

Hey all,

I've been working on the podcast lately so I didn't had much time to do a demo or something.
Though since this one is pretty fage, I'll try to do one soon.

Though the podcast still has my priority.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

hey pim321,

i'm very really interested, and i had already looking for the script like this...

i has already tried your script but i was confused how to do this like in your screenshots??

please make a demo, pal...

[sorry for my english ]

Dude. I think it would be good to Alias methods in your scripts instead of redefining them. It's compatability with other scripts will increase tenfold that way. Although I haven't really tested it, I doubt this script is even compatible with your own (MapRadar).

Mmm not sure...what I've actualy made I think I did aliased the functions...else it's indead very stupid.

Anyway, I'll update some stuff soon


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

How can you rate it and not have a clue how to use it? Are you really spamming Pim's topics?
This is the second time you've done this.
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....mp;#entry263779

Since this is your second offense in spamming, you'll be receiving a 3-day posting restriction.

You didn't:


It's your choice though, But i really want to promote aliasing and many others also want too. since it increases compatability. (I want this even to be discussed in your podcast)
Take that example above, you may actually do:

It's difference is that, even though above this script someone made a crazy override of Scene_Map's start function, It doesn't matter and it won't be affected, since all you want to do is to initialize the player plus.
That's only a suggestion though, I hope you don't take it the wrong way.

O well that is stupid indead...that actualy something I alway's do.
Indead Aliasing is the nr one solution for all compatability isues.

Thanks for letting me know.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Umm...when is that demo coming out? xD

It's a cool little glow effect but I'm a total newbie so I need something already setup so I can understand it >.<

Or...could you at least tell us what the "change the picture" thing means? Is this like a mask over the game screen (like masking in Photoshop)? Is so...what piece of code do we change / where do we put the image? (also...can you post the 2 masks that you used?)

Hope it's not too much to ask for

Thank you

very impresive
i like it....a lot :bllink:
i'll try to put it on my game

Hey all,

Sorry for the misses of the demo...though I'm not realy sure what to do with the script jet.
It doesn't support 4-dir yet, though I ought to try it.
Also the demo will be released in some time, though I don't realy know when, sorry for that.
I'll try to make demo's very soon (comming up week (1week of from school)).


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Do you have a demo of this including the pictures you used?

Nope not yet.
I actualy think I'm going to but the BETA state to this...it's not realy finished.
Anyway, the pictures...I used icons


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Actually I'm refering to the blackness on the screen. would like to show it just like the screenshots but without the icons for the candle & torch.

hey, when the demo is out? on how precisely?

@Felk
I've actualy done something what AutoLight does.
If you just want to use the light thing, I suggest you go and use AutoLight instead (check my sig for the link).

@rendy
The demo comes in...well, I don't know.
I'm very bussy, also I don't realy like the script as how it is now, way to buggy.
So sorry, but you'll have to wait a little longer.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

yo man.... you really need to post a demo with the script when you post it... i need the icons for this script to get it to work.... do you know where i can get them???

I'd just like to point out that I myself have implemented a system like this using light, but mine consisted of nothing more than a black square the size of the screen, and use a soft eraser on photoshop to create a te,pleate with the same effect, no coding, just a tiny amount of script thats called in dark places if the player has the lantern on him.

easy, for what I wanted anyway, I just wanted to clear up anyone that might assume I used your script.


regards, Kiko.

Hey all,

I must say that this script is actualy still in BETA.
So sorry for not being a demo here.
I actualy think I'm going to implent the feature to display a picture or something on the player (the +player plus+) in my AutoLight script since it's actualy only usefull to use this script in combination with that one...
So realy, I suggest you should go check out the AutoLight script topic to see what you can get there


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

i know this is a noob question but how do you make a light the player? I really want to know T.T

In my game this script will fit just right in most of the stages
that i am planning.

Hey both of you

I actually really suggest you to use my AutoLight script instead.
I'll add this function as well in some time.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

you have some really good scripts usefull for my game, thx, ill give you credit also. :]

I can post a tutorial for this. Only on the way where you have to hold F5. It may take a while, though. do I have your permission???

how would i go about changing the key binding for the extra to "F" , and is there a way i can keep the extra on me untill the key to activate it is presses again?

thanks for the help

I have no idea about the second part, because I haven't used this script, but by just glancing at the script I found this :
Find this part in the script

And just change it to look like this

Make sure the F is in all capital letters, or else it won't work.

I tried that but it caused the game to error out so i thought i was doing it wrong.

Hey, Joru.
Sorry for all of the questions on youtube and stuff, but I have one last question. How did you make it into an equitable lantern?
That would be great, and I have been trying. I'm pretty sure you have to flip the accessibility or whatever to switch, not key, right?
Thanks for reading.

(This is me except without the "The" =P)

Could you make this work with Kylocks Time System? So during night you use a item to bring light forth then when daylight comes the light turns itself off?

I confuse how to use it... pliz give us the demo...

@exiost:
Look on the last page...

Sorry but I'm back now.

@Hunter1787
Sure go ahead and make that tut I might make one myself someday when I update or redo the script cause the current state of the script is more like a alpha/beta stage wich isn't realy a good thing
Let me know when you've got something

@bredmar
Oke so you could change the key to F, though you also need a script that enables the use of that key. Since rpg maker vx doesn't use all keys, you'll have to find something like that. If you got that, you can use the solution that Xzygon explained (you do have to use some other input-code though, but that's described in the all-keys-enabled-script you still have to find. G'luck with that I'm sure you'll succeed.

@Xzygon
Tnx for the aid

@ZeroManArmy
Nice idea. I have noticed Kylocks time system and I have to say, it's pretty nice. Sure I could try to implent that. Though it's proably going to be in AutoLight. It's one of my other scripts wich has more to do with light. I'd planed to add this script in to there for the exactly same use as you say, lantern and such. The time system will also work perfect with the script for the light/dark reasons Check the script in my sig. and keep an eye out on that

@exiost
I could do this, though I'm not sure how far I'd like to update this script anymore. Mostly bacause of the same reason I told ZeroManArmy (see above). I think I'd add the script in AutoLight


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Umm uhh... How do you turn the player plus off...? I pressed f5 but it didn't work. I switched on and off both switches and it didn't work... So uh, what do you do?

I mean how do you turn the player plus off and on during the game...

This script looks awesome.

Hey muffin,

Sorry for the short awnser before.
Anyways, this would do the trickSet the correct activation mode you'd like to use.
If Activate = 1, turn off switch[001] (or the number stated in Switch = ##).
If Activate = 2, release key F5 (or the key stated in Key = Input::##).
If Activate = 3, turn off switch[001] (or the number stated in Switch = ##) AND release key F5 (or the key stated in Key = Input::##).
If Activate = 3, turn off switch[001] (or the number stated in Switch = ##) OR release key F5 (or the key stated in Key = Input::##).

Hope that helped.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

ps. This script is realy outdated, that's also why I'm going to implent the little feature this script adds to the game, in an other script of mine called AutoLight.

Thanks for answering!

O problemo.

I hope it was usefull to you
Let me know if you want to know more.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Can you have more than one? and can you have one not be a light? - (like a wolf that will follow the player)
Thanks in advance!

Hey there,

Yes you can let it not be a light.
All it does it adding a picture on top of the screen, following the player (or any offset number).
So a wolf like thing what I guess you want isn't realy something that this does (jet).
Perhaps it can when it's impleted in AutoLight.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.
