Terrax Lighting system

Hi to all, is it possible to create events according to the hours of the day? Like opening some shops..


Thanks.

Hello, I have some problems, the plugin works, but in a note map when i write "DayNight hour 16 30" Doesn't works , Only work "DayNight" help

Question!

Is there a way to make it so that when the events look left, and look right, the flashlight follows the direction they're looking? I've tried everything, and while it seems to move with the character, it doesn't appear to be able to notice when they check their surroundings.


Thanks~

New version (1.2.8) now available

Added :


1) Fix for NPC with flashlight, the flashlight now moves even if the NPC is only changing direction.


2) Improved the tile-block option so it no longer blocks the intire square, but a smaller or larger part can be blocked with a square of oval.


I can't seem to reproduce the error, shaking the screen looks fine if i use it in my demo. Do you use a big map or is paralax on maybe, i need to be able to reproduce the bug to fix it.


Fixed it


To change the hours of the day you have to create an event that calles a plugin-command like this: "Plugin Command : Daynight hour 16 30",


you can find it in the last tab of the events pages. You cannot use the note-tag to set the hour, the note-tag is just for activating the daynight cycle on a map.


Yes, the first step is to activate a global variable you can read with a script, this is done in the options of the script. Use the setting "DayNight hour" and set it to 10 (for example). This will update game variable 10 with the current time. Then you can read it in a script. There is an example of this in the demo if you take the right portal.


Create an event and put in the Plugin-command : Light radius 100 #FFFFFF 


100 changes the player-radius to 100


#FFFFFF is the color of the players light.


I cannot read the tiles alpha channel, but i added an option to manualy set the shape (square or circle) and dimensions of the blocked area. In other words, you would can provide the x1,y1,x2,y2 of the area that has to be blocked (check out the demo for examples)

Thank you, Terrax!

Changing the plugin so the events can point the flashlight in the direction they're looking, saved me countless hours of playing with events, and the same for tricks to make it work.

Thank you so much, a thousand times thank you!

What is with my problem? as described above.


please help

Your question is a litte hard to understand, but you can alway deactivate the light right before you call the 'game over' with


plugin command : Light deactivate


then you can activate it again when you start a game with


plugin command : Light activate.

My computer thinks that there's malware in the download, any help?

The download just contains the game (js and data directory) for the demo and the script. Since everything is made in java-script your malware detector probably flags it as something that could contain mallware. I know some games made with RPG maker are realy realy awful, but i would not concider them malicious.

Sorry to bother you, Terrax. Even more-so should this question have already been answered once before.

When the light is attached to an event note, and I use that event to also hold an item that the player can collect, the light turns down when the player tries to collect that item. I have attempted direction fix, and putting that the light is facing left in the note. 

Included is a screenshot of the above error.

I might have a sollution, but want to know if that works for you. The direction of the flashlight will only be changed if the NPC/event moves (from one square to another) at least once. If the NPC stays fixed in the same position, the flashlight will keep pointing in the position you set it to.


Will that work?

The NPC in question never moved. It is the lights to the vehicle. As seen below. When the player talks to the event tile that has the light on it, it moves. (The player is collecting their bags)
 

I updated the plugin (didn't increase the version number, just a little quick fix)


Download it again and see if it fixes the problems.

Yup, the fix worked.
Thank you, Terrax.
 

Sorry, for bother you again Terrax


I forgot to mention another problem. Everytime when I create a torch or something like that all the rest of the map get dark. Why it happens? 


Regarding to the player radius plugin comand, it is correct what I did?

Most PCs see JavaScript files (.js files) as malware, as JavaScript isn't something that is generally downloaded and is sometimes used as a way to deliver malware, so most PCs and antimalware will just blanket all .js files as bad.

The light no longer follows the character.  it remains in one place.


a few updates ago, no problems.







the problem was beginning in the first update 1.2.8, followed the light not equal. slowly afterwards.












 





 








 













 

It is correct behavior for the map to get dark.. you cannot create light without darkness ;)


If you want the rest of the map to be less dark, put the following command in an event and let it execute once :


Plugin command : Tint set #333333  ( try diffent colors for different kinds of light/shade)


To change the player radius use : Plugin command : Light radius 100 #FFFFFF


Try downloading the plugin again, i made a small patch yesterday that could solve the problem (didn't upgrade the version number).


Let me know if that helps.

i have already the second update from 1.2.8. (small patch) that is the problem. nothing


( the problem was beginning in the first update 1.2.8, followed the light not equal. slowly afterwards. )

I didn't change much is the 1.2.8 patch, i just added some changes to directions of flashlights. Everything seems to work fine in the demo,


are you sure you didn't install another plugin that overwrites the same script. You can test this by disabling other scripts and see if the problem remains.


If you find a plugin that causes a problem, i can look for a fix.
