Light Circles Script v1.2
- Thread starter levanan
- Start date
I've seen may of these but this one rocks! It's so easy to use since you don't have to do anything! lol :haha:
Like people have said before though, it would be nice if you could add a few features like call script at a certin point and dismiss script. Another cool feature i'd like to see is a "flicker" effect for things like candles or torches. Makes it more realistic.

this script seems awesome but i was wondering if there was any way you could make it customizable so if say u wanted the light around a fire it would appear red, like the fire light. Or, for example, if you wanted to make a glowing bug or something you could make it glow purple.
I'm trying to figure out the script commands but I keep coming up with syntax errors when I call script.
This should work:
$game_player.change_sensitivity(5,4)
But it does nothing.
When I use:
$game_player.change_sensitivity2(5,4)
I get:
NoMethodError occurred while running script
undefined method 'change_sensitivity2' for
#<Game_Player:0x75b04b0>

I have accidentally deleted my explanation about the script but will make another as soon as possible~
to BlueEagle7, you are right. There are something problems with my script and I have corrected the problem that you stated before. Thanks for your comment~
to nicol100, I will try to make it as soon as possible~
to Sirus01 and thenotorioustater, thanks for your idea and I will try to make it^^
to Barchetta ,
--> $game_player.change_sensitivity(5,"sensitivity_2")
the code above means that i want a light of power value equals to 5 , put on only hero
--> $game_player.change_sensitivity(2,"sensitivity")
the code above means that i want a light of power value equals to 2 , put on hero and events
the way of writing out the code I think is a bit of confusing and wasting time which I should improve it long time ago...very sorry for that lol~
if you still can't make it, then just write :
$sensitivity=5
$sensitivity_2[A]=5
where A equals the event id that you wish to change its light radius(if A==0, it direct to hero)
$sensitivity is a universal light radius which mean if u add the value of $sensitivity, both hero and events' light radius will be added.

Nice to meet you Zealo^^
~To use this script, place this script just above Main.
~The hero and events settings have to be configured.
~Set the event's configuration by referring to the photo showed above(I have just updated it)
~To change hero's light circle radius, change the value of $sensitivity_2[0].
~To change both hero and all events' light circle radius, change the value of $sensitivity.
~To make hero's light circle flick, change $flick to value of 1 or higher.
~To ignore the script's effect, change $light_switch to value of 0.
Hopefully this helps you...

This script is awesome, but it quickly takes my processor to 100% activity and then lags a lot, never letting the processor usage get lower until I shut the game off. Maybe you should look into a more efficient way of controlling the geometric calculations?
But anyway, could you provide me a really simple version of the script, with decreased quality? I really don't need it to be as pretty as it is right now... I just need a dyamic light circle that works as well as yours, doesn't matter if it's a plain white blob interacting with an undithered dark background. Could you please fill this request?

Funny, I noticed that when I accidentally typed "$slight_switch=0" in call script instead of "$light_switch=0" like I meant to, then started the game, the hero's light circle started as a small circle then grew to fill the whole map. I had a call script "$sensitivity_2[0]-=-1" on the same map, and I noticed that when I changed the "hero sensitivity" to a positive number the light circle did the opposite, it dimmed. I found this by accident, but is this a considered part of the script?
to MarkDarkness,
thanks for your comments. I will try to improve its performance. Can you provide me some details about the script you need? I will try my best if I can make it^^
to DreadOmen,
I think that the value of $sensitivity_2[0] should be more than 150 in order to get significant increase of light circle radius.

Thank you for the feedback, levanan! What I need is exactly what you provide, but with simplified math. Something like the image below, but a little more sophisticated:

Do you think it's possible?

I'm very much interested in this script. I have to say it's one of the best lighting scripts I've seen for RPG Maker XP.
OMG nice script O.O
I dunno how it got away with my script radar o.O
Just in time since I finished my lamp post *.*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW22dkv59yU if you are interested o.oa
Anyway, is there a script call syntax that lets me flick the event's light manually?
Since my lamp post light graphics flickers at a certain frame and I want to match the timing *.* (all light post have different flick interval)
Thankies *.*

thanks TickTock, medinastories and Mimi Chan for the comment.
Mimi Chan, you mean the lights flick at different time interval? if it is so I think it will be hard to do by this script as the script uses single time interval for all graphic updates. By the way why you wanna use different timing, I mean can it be something alternative?

Since all my lamps flicker at different rates ^^; (would be bland and unrealistic if every light source flicker at the exact time)
No worries though ^^. I don't think I can use this system since I think it has incompatibility issue with the time system I am using (on the tinting part)
