two questions...

[

(1 vote)

I know I've been asking a lot of questions recently, but I've really started getting into the developement side of Cube rather than the gaming side. First, how would I script a door to be open at the beginning of an SP map rather than it be closed at start? And secondly, how would I change the lighting on a map so that anywhere that is not influenced by light entities appears really dark or pitch black instead of just shady?

lower your ambient light level to make it darker. /ambient 0 0 0 should work.
idk about the door part

also look at the skylight (rbg) shadowmapambient(rbg) blurskylight (0..2)

rbg is the color values red blue and green it is a number scale 0 (default) 1 (off) to 255 (extremely bright) based on each of these colors and how much each are set to you can create every color, a simple color wheel:

@ edit:

my bad i fixed the 0.

For the first one, run your trigger command outside of a method/function.
Instead of say:
alias level_trigger_1 [ trigger 3 1 ]

just run by itself:
trigger 3 1

no, this is /ambient 1 1 1
0 don't works, it set the default. (25 25 25)

Djakk, if your going to be posting questions, please try to start putting the sum of your questions in the Node Name. Rather than "Two Questions..." try for something like "Need help with Door Script & lights." It simplifies all our lives.

Sorry about that... Im fairly new to Cube and the Quadropolis community and im not completely used to everything yet..

Windecker | 2010-04-13 23:12

That is not a problem. ;) Good to have you.

Also, this applies to most places online, not just Cube/Quadropolis.

You seem to be working on a pretty epic project.
Any hints you want to give out? :D

Do you need any help?

Djakk | 2010-04-16 01:07

Actually, you nailed that right on the head. Im working on something epic, Im just hoping that it turns out epic. When I started playing Cube 2: Sauerbraten, I noticed that compared to Cube, it is lacking in the single player/campaign mode. What I have planned is a full length game for Cube 2. At the moment, I am putting finishing touches on level 1, Awakening. It is turning out really well in my opinion. Seeing as this is going to be my first planned published map, I do not want it to be a flop. I want it to be perfect or really close to it.

As for help, I am asking for it as I go along and encounter problems or just get curious about stuff, but thanks for asking. Im just hoping this turns out as well as I have planned. :)

This is exiting! I am now in a state of great anticipation!

Some advice to you is to look at low rated maps and study some of the criticisms that are repeated over and over.

I would hate for this to be a flop and later I look foolish. :P

Don't hesitate to shoot me an email if you want to co-op. :D
