Author Topic: Effect and projectile Request: Weather emitters-brick form and lightning projec.  (Read 635 times)

In my attempts to make my CRPGas realistic and comprehensive as possible, I am implementing weather - this includes snow gathering on the ground, water run-off, seasonal changes.  As such, I am requesting a series of Brick-styled weather emitters.  Here is the list of what I want.

-An emitter that uses the top and bottom texture of a 1x1 plate, alternating between the two.  The emitter color changes to the color of the brick.  Has three degrees/densities, little, medium, large, for varying degrees of precipitation.  I plan to use these for leaves and snow.
-An emitter that uses the side texture of a 1x1 plate, again, color changes to the brick color and has three degrees.  I plan to use these for rain, hail, and sleet.

The lowest of degrees for each would be like 3-4 drops of precipitation per second, the middle would be 6-8, and the heaviest would be 12-14

Dunno how plausible this would be, but I think it would be a really good addition to a brick-based game.

Another thing I am requesting is a lightning-looking projectile, for use with [<Named brick>] [fireprojectileatbrick], or whatever it is, I never use it.  Could be good with more accurate lightning strikes.

A lightning projectile, that is freaking genius.  I don't know about the other stuff.

I'll see what I can do, if I can do it.

Bump.  I got nothin, no idea how to make projectiles.


Lightning projectiles hmmm


Ive done this before. It spams the projectile limit and lags a lot more than an emitter would having all the projectile explosions going off.

Past that, it did work and look decent, but the extent to what I could use it was limited.

Ive also considered a lighting projectile but never got around to doing anything on it.
I figured It would work as stationary "bolt model" with a raycast projectile that ends at the tip of the bolt. This would be the most simple way of doing this without it looking like trash..

Id like to see this optimized.
