Bright flash on impact

Pages: (1/1)

Muffinmix:

I've noticed some weapons produce a bright flash when they explode (some bombs, the Bot Cannon, Guided Missle). How do you get a weapons to do that? I've dissected the scripts but found nothing.

rkynick:

well i would figure it has something to do with this:

--- Code: ---%targetobject.setwhiteout(1.022);

--- End code ---

in


--- Code: ---function MissileRadius(%sourceObject, %position, %radius, %damage, %damageType, %impulse, %rigger)
{
%pos = VectorAdd(%position, "0 0" SPC 0.2);
new Projectile()
{
dataBlock        = "BrickdestroyerProjectile";
initialPosition  = %pos;
initialVelocity  = "0 0 -500";
sourceObject     = %rigger.player;
client = %rigger;
};
InitContainerRadiusSearch(%position, %radius, $TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType);
while ((%targetObject = containerSearchNext()) != 0) {
        %halfradius = %radius / 2;
%dist = containerSearchCurrRadiusDist();
  %distScale = (%dist < %halfRadius)? 1.0:
         1.0 - ((%dist - %halfRadius) / %halfRadius);
if(minigamecandamage(%rigger.player, %targetobject)){
        %impulseVec = VectorSub(%targetObject.getWorldBoxCenter(), %position);
          %impulseVec = VectorNormalize(%impulseVec);
          %impulseVec = VectorScale(%impulseVec, %impulse * %distScale);
          %targetObject.applyImpulse(%position, %impulseVec);
          if(%targetobject != %rigger.player){
          %targetobject.setwhiteout(1.022);
          }
}

    }
}
--- End code ---

Space Guy:

That's for a flash-grenade sort of effect - blinding.

The ones I think you mean:
