Sollte gehen, das einzige was du machen musst, ist die Entstehungskoordinate in deinem Spiel ermitteln und damit dann den Effekt aufrufen, damit er weiss, wo er sein soll.

Looks like there is a great game coming up - huh?
Keep on good work (and feed us with your great effects!)

If he would make a game with these great effects, it would be a hell of a game But as I've read in one of his post about Dragonrise, he's hasn't got much time for it which I think is sad because, ShoreVietam you're one
heck of a scripter The game effect's you could make based on this engine would be stunning Just look at the effects you've maded, they're But he, it's a free world

Cheers

Thanks a lot guys, your comments are really motivating!

One day they'll be in the game for sure!


Here's the next one, a lightning strike.
I hope it's not disappointing that I'm starting to reuse functions from previous effects?
However, they show, that it's possible to combine functions in different ways.

- Animated sprite for the lightning
- Flare to light up the impact position
- Energy flashes at the impact position as in the light-beam effect
- dust coming out of the ground
- burst away stones

Greetings,

I love those effects! the lightning and the ice spell are my favorites. Great work! and thank you!!

Could someone record some videos of the effects? Can't watch them on my own comp. (linux)

There are sometimes these demo contests, where people write themself a impressive demo with a lot of effects and regie and music and things you never have seen before. I don´t know right now a link to such a demo source site. Anyway there you can find a lot of exterestical effect ideas. I wanted to do an effect like the first/second effect, this flickering light. I saw that in one of these render demos. Hadn´t yet the time to do it.

Anyway how about a fantastic explosion like in Zelda 3 boss defeat, Axelay or Super Probotector. I thought about the explosions there and came to the point that a mix of extreme fast moving and very short living explosions (models or sprites) followed by a "long" (1sec or maybe longer) burning flames (particles) would make a good explosion. Mixed up with flying around splinters/pieces.

Anyway fantastic effects. We all should use more camera shakes. That´s rocking cool and "unterstreicht" the soundeffects. And I can confirm the bug with the ice.

The shining ring of the light beam and the window shines are too fine. They look too hairy and should be more steamy/turbulenced and softer I think.

I haven´t checked yet the scripts but I hope they are frame rate independend.

Yes I knew that bug, now I fixed it.


The Zelda 3 Boss defeat explosions are really great ( über cool ). They use animated sprites, I'll have to watch it again.
A explosion would be nice, right.

Here's the YouTube Video for the effects.

I noticed, that the particles from the light beam are faster with lower framerate, strange since I don't change their velocity.
As well as the stones need different time until they go back into the earth, there seem to be differences between - WAITT (24) - and - 24 times WAITT (1) - ...

I watched the video, looks really good. I especially liked the effect with the stone spikes coming out of the ground.
