You finished everything other? If no, do everything other and THEN get a gas effect.

[GambiT]

no, i need to know that the gas effect is possible, or works descent enough to work, i'm not building this map if there wont be any gas effect.

[Sacrifist]

If they are having any issues with the lua, I can give them a rundown on the logics Im using to make it work.

[GambiT]

if you have it working, please by all means let me see what you have.

Who's working on the Lua, you?

I don't even remember you handing it off, if not. Nor do I remember you asking the beta members/dev team for help. This is the only post I've seen with regards to it.

I'm pretty sure Lua can color a player's screen greenish and then inflict damage based on location, you just have to... y'know... do it. pm squeek maybe? He's handy with Lua shit, as is Jesse.

I mean... who have you asked?

i'm LUA ignorant...

[Jester]

Made a small test map for LUA people to work with:
http://www.geocities.com/hlrallyfiles/gastest.zip

What it does:
-Button opens suit doors
-After a set delay, screen starts fading to green
-After fade, all players inside the trigger_hurt die
-Players in water won't die since you don't put the trigger_hurt there
-A flag(suit) is in the suit door
-A ball(key) is in the other corner

What it needs to do in LUA:
-Only player with ball(key) can trigger the button
-If player has flag(suit) trigger_hurt will do no damage

This might help you too GambiT if your map doesn't already do these things.

[GambiT]

wow, im sure that will help alot, thanks very much man.

for the gas effect i was really hoping for the spy gas effect to fade in a kill you, but i'll see how that works later. thanks alot.

also, do we even have "suit"s to use?

[Circuitous]

Don't believe so, but one can probably be made.

Or you could get HL2's.

[GambiT]

i'll look for it this evening, could anybody explain to me how to change the model to give it a glow, and how in the hell am i going to make it appear that you have the suit on?

[squeek.]

Thanks Jester. That'll make it much easier. I have the gas effect working as well as a countdown, and this'll just allow me to get it all ready to slap into GambiT's map. I also have to juggle lua requests from thirty other people, though.

[Jester]

Finished it, this should be everything you need:
http://www.geocities.com/hlrallyfiles/newgastest.zip

Added:
-Button can only be used by key(ball) carrier
-Gas only kills people without flag(suit)

[GambiT]

sweet, im not trying to rush you Squeek, just want to see something so i can say "hell yea, gas is looking good, time to get the map done!", ya know?

[greenday5494]

cant you just use the spy screen overlay, instead of just a basic green thing? (i know this is what you want). cant you just call it to create one? Oh, you need to make a fallback material for below DX9, there isnt one. On DX8.1 and below, nothing will show up.

[GambiT]

2 things:

1.) i believe that is the gas effect that Squeek is trying to work out(i know you already know that)

2.) i dont care if ppl with low end graphics cards get a gas effect or not, in all honesty, i will not hold back on what i want to do because of some ppl with a low end machine or GPU, i WILL cater to the ones with nice machines, sorry...

Notice: was not being mean, thats just how i feel.

[greenday5494]

you're not "holding back", if you dont, you're just being lazy. creating a fallback material takes little time. I guess that's how Crysis was developed. If Valve thought like that, they would probably be out of buissness. Over 30 percent use DX8.

I dont have it for lua, but I figured the logics I am using for the TF2 version could help in some way. It sounds like they have things under control though. I have 32 outputs on the func_capturezone for the TF2 map lol.

There is a combine mask that you can use for the "suit" Its barneys mask that he uses in the single player game, but it would look better if someone made you a model.

[greenday5494]

or just use the HEV suit in the game, just like TFC.

[GeoKill----->]

Use the FF Logo, just floating there, glow maybe?

i think i mispoke, i wont hold back on doing anything because some ppl wont see or use what im doing, what we're discussing is something that i can change WITHOUT taking away from the effect that ppl with high end comps see, if you can understand that.

to early for me. but i agree, and will work on a fallback, though it may not be perfect.
