MZ - Attach a light to projectiles - using QJ Bullet Plugin and Shora Lighting

Although it is better for the author to reply, but it is documented there's a moveJS attribute if you use the Shoot command.

https://qiujiu-9.github.io/?file=002-English/02-QJ-MapProjectileMZ/04-QJ.MPMZ.Shoot/13-moveJS

So I assume you can spawn an event, and use the move js to update the position of the event's _realX and _realY properties.
Although if you spawn multiple projectile it would be tricky to do so.

Thank u for your answer !
I did tried with QJ lightning but sadly it doesn't seem compatible with my game


It works only if I delete this line

Also I think that the version of QJ-MapProjectile isn't yet updated on ich.io ?
It's 2.0 on it but I'm using the 2.5 from project blue I think
Is the QJ-Lightning on itch the last updated version ? (2.0)

download here:
itch

There are all my newest RMMZ plugins which were written by me previously in project.
QJ-Lighting:V3.0.4
QJ-MapProjectileMZ.js:V3.7.8
I have only six months left before graduating from college, so I am quite busy and can only hastily complete this project.
I haven't updated the wiki of QJ-MapProjectile yet, please wait a little longer.
There is some interesting effect about projectiles.

I`m busy with the new plugins about RMMZ:
jz


Regarding the error, I need you to send the project to me or create a demo that can reproduce the problem.

thanks ! but it seems like the link is dead

for the compatibility problem I will try first with the newest version before sending it to you to be sure but thanks too !

you can open url now.
I haven't used itch for a long time.

thank u!

The wiki has also been updated.
Because the wiki is too complex, I use machine translation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me in the Discord group mentioned above.

Thanks a lot for this !

Everything work fine with the newer versions, I didn't needed to edit any code and managed to attach light without spawning events (I made it work with shora but It was complicated to manage and delete light at the impact)
Also the new bullets effects are great thank you, I'm gonna check the updated wiki.


I remade my lightening system with QJ-Lighting without problem except for one thing, Is there a way to change the tint progressively even when changing maps ?

I'm using a custom time system day-night cycle and when I apply this "QJ.LL.tint("700","#6666ff")"
it works but if a change map during the transition it goes directly to the tint (breaking the transition effect).
With Shora I used this command and the transition didn't stop with map changing, maybe cause it's a plugin command and not a script call ?


But even with the inbuild QJlight time system it seems to cut transitions when changing maps

I repair and you can re-download QJLight on itch!

Wish you can support my JZ Plugin when it`s released.

thank u! I will support with pleasure

So now everything works even the transitions between maps, but I noticed something,
the light filter doesn't seems on the same z value than shora's one so it covers other elements too like "BMSP map fog filter" or make "Mog Treasure pop up" it difficult to read :


Is there a way to configure the z value of the light screen even in the script itself ?
(I saw there's the option available for the player shadow but not the tint screen)

Also when using <QJLL:fire> comment in two event pages, the light flicker when changing pages with a self switch, any way to keep the light consistent between event pages changes ?
(for using a light on an enemy or trap using custom abs system, I had the same problem with shora's but I find a fix with an edit, don't really remember how)

thanks again really for all the help and time

I repair and you can re-download QJLight on itch.

You can change z of light layer there:

You can change z of light layer same as community`s or shora`s light plugin.

And light of event will not flicker when event`s page changes.

Hi, shora here!

The idea of binding position to light is a neat idea, and I remember developed a variant of that like 1 year ago (along with static light for custom light that not using event). But since there low demand for this feature (actually I don't ever seen a comment that suggest this), I kind of place them aside. If you want this feature, you could make a suggestion in the main post, I would appeciate to hear it!

thanks again a lot, the event`s page changes light flicker fix works great, and the community layer too (mog typo is clear)
but the (same as shora) z to 10 doesn't seems to work, it render the same as the community layer with BMSP map fog under the QJ light layer (in shora it display light under both mog and BMSP), and when testing to set z to 9 the light seems under the tileset layer to it doesn't render the light effects at all.

Also do u know if the QJ lightning + last QJ bullet version are more resources expansive than shora's one and previous QJ bullet ?
I dont use shadow player options but It seems like I have more fps drops with it than my previous build with shora 1.9.5 and the old QJ bullet plugin version (I tried with both pixi 6.5.2 my current, and original pixi 5.3.12)
I really love this plugin and the compatibility possibilities with the QJ bullet one but I'm scared It would lower the performance.
Does QJ-WindowFPSRepairMZ improve performance ?

And an unrelated question, I saw this file 'mapItemGridBackGround' in the system img file of your demo project :
Is this part of another public made plugin of yours or from another dev, or juste private usage ?

I'm searching a way to use items on map (like I did with MKR_MapItemSlot on mv but not compatible with mz) for my currentmz build but the only options I've found are tied to full abs systems were I use a custom one and only need the map items slots option, so I was intrigued.

thanks again


thanks a lot for your answer, I will post the suggestion. I made it work using Event respawn but the light wasn't bind to the projectile, juste send at the same speed to create the illusion of it, so it doesn't work for other projectiles than straight lines and it is more difficult to control and delete lights.
