[MTK5012]

nice!
how did you do that?
use surface stuff?

[Dusty]

yep.

[MTK5012]

i never use surface thing before,is it complicated as multiplayer?
and does it cause lag?

[Dusty]

Never expirenced lag with it, and it's kinda easy-ish

Code: (Object Create)

light_surf_none=surface_create(room_width,room_height);
surface_set_target(light_surf_none);
surface_reset_target();
draw_clear_alpha(c_black,1);
temp_light_mod = 0
alarm[0] = 10

Code: (Object Step)

if(!instance_exists(PlayerObj)){
    instance_destroy()
}
   
            if surface_exists(light_surf_none){
            surface_set_target(light_surf_none);
            draw_set_blend_mode(bm_subtract);
            draw_clear_alpha(c_black,(global.lightingLevel-temp_light_mod)/100);
            with (PlayerObj){
                if(flashlight) draw_sprite_ext(LightConeS,0,x,y,1,1,aimDir,c_white,1)
                if(tempType = BALLISTIC_TYPE && gun_image > 0){
                    //draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x+lengthdir_x(35,aimDir),y+lengthdir_y(35,aimDir)-4,2.57,2,aimDir,c_white,1)
                    if(other.temp_light_mod < 50){
                        other.temp_light_mod = 50
                        other.alarm[0] = 2
                    }
                }
            }
            with (FlameO){
                draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x,y,image_xscale/2.5+((random(10)/100)-.05),image_yscale/2.5+((random(10)/100)-.05),0,c_white,1)
            }
            with (FalseFireO){
                draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x,y,image_xscale/2.5+((random(10)/100)-.05),image_yscale/2.5+((random(10)/100)-.05),0,c_white,1)
            }
            with (ElectricField){
                draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x,y,1.5+((random(100)/100)-.5),1.5+((random(100)/100)-.5),random(360),c_white,1)
                if(other.temp_light_mod < random(25)+25){
                    other.temp_light_mod = random(25)+25
                    other.alarm[0] = 2
                }
            }
            with (Gib){
                if(lighted) draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x,y,.5,.5,0,c_white,1)
            }
            with (LightObj){
                draw_sprite_ext(type,0,x,y,x_size,y_size,rot,c_white,1)
            }
            with (Storefront){
                if(goto_room != -1){
                    draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x-43,y+14,.75,.75,0,c_white,1)
                    draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x+43,y+14,.75,.75,0,c_white,1)
                    draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x,y+20,1,1,0,c_white,1)
                }
            }
            with (HolidayStorefront){
                if(goto_room != -1){
                    draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x-43,y+14,.75,.75,0,c_white,1)
                    draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x+43,y+14,.75,.75,0,c_white,1)
                    draw_sprite_ext(LightCircleS,0,x,y+20,1,1,0,c_white,1)
                }
            }
            draw_set_blend_mode(bm_normal);
            surface_reset_target();
    }
   

Code: (Object Draw)

    if (surface_exists(light_surf_none)){
        draw_surface_ext(light_surf_none,0,0,1,1,0,c_white,1)
    }

The alarm[0] is just to make the temporary light set back to 0

[MTK5012]

i understand 50% of it
but it look pretty easy to learn

[Dusty]

this is what if mostly boils down to.

Code:

if surface_exists(light_surf_none){
            surface_set_target(light_surf_none);
            draw_set_blend_mode(bm_subtract);
            draw_clear_alpha(c_black,<How Dark You Want It>);
            with (<any object>){
                <draw a sprite to represent light, needs to be greyscale>
            }
            draw_set_blend_mode(bm_normal);
            surface_reset_target();
    }

also make sure that this code is run ONCE, and ONLY ONCE, for each sprite that you'll use for light:
sprite_set_alpha_from_sprite(spritename,spritename)

[MTK5012]

ok, i understand most of them now
but i need to do example to fully understand it first
anyway,thanks for your help

[Dusty]

exploding corpse worms, y/y?

[Dusty]

Hm, why won't these books burn?

[Machidro]

Hm, why won't these books burn?

I have a fix:

Code:

burnable=1;

If you want to get fancy:

Code:

if burnable=0
burnable=1;

[Dusty]

No, I fixed it. it turns out they were burning, but the flames weren't appearing.

Next build : Build f451

[MTK5012]

you should make a menu

[Dusty]

Already did.

[MTK5012]

a story mode then
