WATERMAP

Works different from Sector_SetFade?

FadeTo() changes the players view, not the world.

You lost me on that one. The player's view of the world is the world; if the player doesn't view it, it doesn't exist, so to speak. ???

From my experiment, FadeTo changes the entire map, what I'd tend to call "the world". Is there a way to have it affect only tagged sectors?

It does give the desired foggy affect however, but I don't see how BioHazard is going to use it to color his water without also coloring the normal above-water sectors. In his DM map, players jump into and out of the water at will and some water areas (the entry/exit ports) are transfer height specials with most of the underwater area being normal sectors with no transfer height special.

It means that the FadeTo value is not a property of the map but of the player. That means that the affected player will see everything with the altered colors but if a second player was in the same spot he would not. Obviously this means that 'the world' has not been changed by this command!

in example, if you do fadeto and then switch to a camera view, the camera will not have the fadeto color tint

Thanks guys, now I understand. Also I see what Bio Hazard did, simply toggle the FadeTo when the player jumps into and out of the water, and it'll affect only that particular player.

no, i used fadeto in the scipt thit i used for the splashing sounds:

Code: Select all

script 200 (void) // splash in south
{
	thingsound(6, "watr_in", 100);
	fadeto(0,0,255,0.35,0);
}

and when the player gets out of the water

Code: Select all

script 201 (void) // splash out south
{
	thingsound(6, "watr_out", 100);
	fadeto(255,255,255,0,0);
}

come on biff... i thought you looked at my scripts

[Biff]

Why yes I did sir and that's exactly why I said what I did. ??? The FadeTo is toggled between 0,0,255 and 255,255,255 when the player jumps into and out of the water. It works great by the way.
