Could someone script this for me

I want to add a script to Coag that changes the lightmap from normal to dark like every 20, 30 secs for 5 mins until its pitch black. If this is possible, could someone script it out for me. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

not being a modder myself yet... your basically trying to make a daytime-nightime thing yeh? i think for best results you should probably make the script act on the lighting for coag, which is the sun... so that when the sun+light moves, perhaps around 30degrees of rotation a minute lets say, the shading on the map changes to act like it should... otherwise you will still have the sun lit up loads and the rest dark

yeah, thats basically what i want. But once its dark, it stays dark.

im pretty sure it would be something like this

Code: Select all

(script continuous time
	(begin
		(rasterizer_bloom_override_brightness REAL)
		(sleep 75)
		(rasterizer_bloom_override_brightness REAL)
		(sleep 75)
		(rasterizer_bloom_override_brightness REAL)
		(sleep 75)
		(rasterizer_bloom_override_brightness REAL)
		(sleep 75)
		(rasterizer_bloom_override_brightness REAL)
		(sleep 75)
		(rasterizer_bloom_override_brightness REAL)
	)
)
REAL being numbers that increase then decrease. you should have a hell of a lot more than that tho if u want it to look real. and i dont know wat ud do about the sky

The problem is that it doesn't affect all the objects at all :?

The script above wont work, all it does is modify the bloom
I just researched and there is no way to change the lightmap, althought you could rebuild with 2 of the same sbsps and have two light maps

my entity freezes all the time with scripts too

Mabe im oversimpliying it but what if you spawned a really bright ball as a proj and made it move really slow over the map and then crash over the horision. Make it move at like 2 with a very low gravity on it (so it appears to curve with the land).

not a bad idea...
(1) Its not entity that is freezing for me. It's script Tools. (2) Thats not a bad idea at all... be like a sun.. but i don't know how to do that.. you?

There are people who still use Entity's compiler?
Get the new H2Guerilla, which I'm told has the latest Script Tools. http://www.halovicis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=217

Get one from SP. They have BSP changing scripts.
