Camera Fade

Is there any way to fade the actual camera's view? I've been just adjusting the light level where the camera is. But that doesn't work if the camera or player is right up against the wall.

Fade in a hud message with a completely black 320x200 image. That's what I do, works the same.

Hmmm - interesting idea. I'll try that.

I'm having trouble getting Light_Fade to work. I've used it before just fine in other scripts, but for some reason it's not working for me. Is the Sector Tag the same thing as the Sector# or the Linedef tag or what?

-=[EDIT]=-
Ah - N/M - I had the statement after a DELAY...dumb mistake.

Mmmmm, light_fade is a bit cheap and never has the same effect as fade to or fading in a black hud message.

What project is this for, GS?

Hrmm... I just checked the wiki, and it doesn't say in there how to fade in a picture... Cause I would like a similar effect for something that I'm working on.

I think you just set the font name as the picture name and just use 1 charcter for the message or something along those lines

Oy... Hate to be a pain, but what's the actual syntax of it? The wiki doesn't seem to be very up-to-date on that... The syntax it gives doesn't have any "font type" or anything like that.

Yep, that's where I just was. Still can't quite figure it out.

I never really did get too far past semi-simple scripting. No variables or anything, but I guess I'm gonna need to work on that for my current project... Oy.

Code: Select all

SetFont("LUMP");
HudMessage(s:"A",otherhudmessagestuff);

Ah... I take it "LUMP" in the SetFont thing would be the name of the picture... Alrighty, I'll check that out.

Edit: Blah. I can't seem to get it to work. Here's my scripty doodah:

Code: Select all

script 998 DEATH
{
	SetMusic("GAMEOVER", 0, 0);
	SetFont("GMEOVER1");
	HudMessage(s:"A"; 2, 0, 0, -1.0, -1.0, 65535, 105, 1);
}
