Inspired by Zelda - Twilight Princess I made this energy-effect yesterday.

Maybe the code is useful for those who wonder how to make this kind of effect.
- No shader used
- Usage of Call-by-Reference to handle over the position and give back the entity-pointer
- Press "p" to activate the effect

Thanx! That is very nice!!!!
It's the best made "willow whisp" i know.

Thanx and merry xmas to you!

looks very nice! thanks a lot!!


uhm... for me the "0" key doesn't work... am I doing anything wrong?


Micha

Oh you're right, the "0" function for "Positions" seems to be disabled in published version.

Thanks ShoreVietam this effect is very cool!

Out of curiosity, where did you see this effect in Twilight Princess?

Thanks guys.


Where you have to defeat the bugs in the dark world at the Zora's place.

After killing them they become a "willow-wisp" that you have to collect.

its more of a blue energy ball to me but oh well lol

Samb... it should be the other way around.
best_game_ever = twilight_princess;

cause otherwise you'd overwrite twilight_princes.. and you wouldn't want that now, would you?

man... I code too much... what I just wrote there was actually the first thing I thought when reading the post...^^

P.S.
looks very cool

@Silent_Assasin

Well, color is just a matter of the texture.
The energy flashs that leave the "ball" work the same.

However, that was the first time I actually saw, what operations are needed to achieve that effect since you can move the view behind it and watch it for some time.
