Faked of course. How well? You decide:

(super WIP)

Can beamlaser projectile info be read from lua? Like its emit and end points? It currently only returns center and no vector or length

Seems similar to this:

Otherwise nifty =] Looking forward to seeing more of this stuff

danil_kalina, that lightign also affects the models, beherith's one doesnt, hence his version is gonna be much faster.


Usable, and good looking if it can be more subtle/transparant.

yea

AF, danil. You posted Kloot's videos of his dynamic map/model lights. I know of them, and the reason I went for this dead simple approach to complement it, is that its faster and more simultaneous lights can be had. Kloot's look best with large lights, mine only look passable with small.

cool stuff !!!

Is it possible to turn it ON/OFF in spring settings ?

These cool effects can be in HIGH/ULTRA settings

[Beherith]

The WIP but working code is attached here. Move pointlight.tga to luaui/images.

Near final code is available on the BA SVN http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/trac/balates ... order=name

All that is left is to not query all projectiles, only those in view.

nice, with some tweaking it will look very good i think.

you could use position of shooting unit and center of beam to get start point and direction. Bit stupid but as last resort?

Can a widget get who is shooting a projectile? I didnt see a method.

It looks really nice. Thanks behe

I do notice that it is far more obvious on things that don't have a cegtrail (unlike pretty much all evo units), but even with a cegtrail, It looks quite nice really. Adds that little subtle glow that should be there.

Great work!
