Here is the line from the Coastal Ruins, could someone plz explain what is each number for? I know this has been asked before, but I don't want to search the whole forums.
LensFlare= 250000,-32000,110000,128,96,0

Yeah, that is the question...  Maybe Core has a special X,Y,Z, position calculator... IP: Logged |

Oh, damn! And I hoped someone would give me an answer.Oh, nevermind, I wanted to bump this anyway.
the lensflare makes a 'sun' effect. Check the angor Watt level, were the beutifull rays at the start are, or the coastal ruins were you can see the sun rays in the first fly-by, I think. [This message has been edited by eTux (edited 06-10-2002).] IP: Logged |

it's all a matter of trial and error
that's how I did it, anyway  ------------------
Peace is but a shadow of death, desperate to forget it's painful past...
Though we hope for promising years, after shedding a thousand tears, yesterday's sorrow constantly nears.
And while the moon still shines blue, by dawn, it will turn scarlet hue.

Errr.... How?  I guess it could be something like setting the mirror (the x and y coordinates in the room must be multiplied with 1024 and then the number pasted in the calculator and then select the HEX and voila, there's the number), the only problem is, that I cannot guess the Z coordinates. It also looks like setting the load screens, like Dozying to the place I want the flare to be and write down the coordinates of that spot, but I don't know if it would work. The only reason I'm going through this the script way is, because the level will already have so many objects, that I can't afford adding a lensflare object to the wad and in the project. I think there was something about this in the manual but I'm not sure about this, coz' the last time I checked there was nothing about this.

You can put a nullmesh object in the LENS_FLARE slot in your wad, that creates one wherever it is placed in the level. I don't know if this is any different to placing it using the script file, but I got it to work okay...IP: Logged |

I know about the nullmesh object, but I said why I can't add it. Actually the effect is a bit different. The nullmesh creates rays, check it in the Angor watt level. The Coastal LEns Flare (the one added with the script) looks more like a sun not rays. It is a kinda circle, that you can see in real life at sunset, when the sun is not so bright as in day, that's also the effect I want to have in my level.IP: Logged |

Of course, sorry I'm being stupid.If it's any help, I think that the dozy cheat relies on an XYZ cooridinate of lara's position in whatever room she's in, and an XYZ coordinate of whatever point she is looking at in another room. I think... IP: Logged |
