Hero as light source with Rataime's Shadows script.

[HarryE]

For part of my game, I want the player to wander through a creepy forest with a lamp.

I've got Rataime's shadows script for XP, but I wonder... is there a way to set the Hero as the source of light? Currently the script only supports events as light sources, see, and I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand here?

Thanks, much!

I've seen this stuff for RMVX at the game I played, called One Night at www.rpgmakervx.net

Oh no, I need this for XP. Sorry, I shoulda mentioned...

 

[NemanjaT]

oh... I think there is non for XP....

I'm working on it. Should be ready at same hour tommorow.

 

[NemanjaT]

good, i may use it too :biggrin:

Sweet. I've made an event which follows the player exactly with the lightsource event, but sometimes the player will cast a shadow when they move. Hopefully yours will work better. :D

OK it's done. Player is a source of light and does not make shadow of himself.

It is based on this script.
There is not any other dynamic shadow script for XP I know so I suppose you use this one.

Plaste Fragment of code under shadow script:

 

# Player Light - "Addon to Dynamic Light & Shadows v1.5 by Trebor777"

# Made by EOG

#

# This simple scrit makes player as a source of ligt. You can turn off and turn

# on light on dement same way as in normal events.

#

class Spriteset_Map

  def player_as_light 

    light_param = ["0|360|100|0|4"] # here you change the light same way as in for event

    @lights.push( Light.new(@viewport1,$game_player,light_param) )

    for i in $game_map.events.keys.sort    

      shadow_param = SDK.event_comment_input($game_map.events[i], 1, "Shadow")

      next if shadow_param.nil? 

      @shadows.push( Shadow.new(@viewport1,$game_map.events[i], shadow_param, @lights.last) )

    end

  end

end

class Scene_Map

  attr_reader :spriteset

end

class Game_Player < Game_Character

  alias treb_mobile_source_game_event_initialize initialize

  attr_accessor :off, :direction

  def initialize(*args)

    @off = false

    treb_mobile_source_game_event_initialize(*args)

  end

end

 

To initialize light make new event(set Trigger to Autorun):
@> Script: $scene.spriteset.player_as_light
@> Erase Event


If somebody need demo just tell.

FINALY, i've been witing for you

 

[HarryE]

If somebody need demo just tell.

Yeah please. The version I have of the SDk is newer than the one for that demo. I can't seem to get it all to work...

EDIT: Nevermind. Got the demo from the topic you linked to, and the script in that is incompatable with some of the scripts I already have...

 

[EOG]

My script or script from topic?

If you have version of script that is compatybile with your scripts post it and I'll make a version for your script.

Naah, it's from his Dynamic Lights script. Some NoMethodError. I dunno Ruby or RGSS, so I'm not sure what that means. I'll just bear with what I've got, I don't wanna annoy ya. Thanks, though. :D
