Some small details I'd like to point out, Try to randomise the lighting if its going to be a constant feature throughout the stage, it feels too much in rhythm, also create a thunder sound effect to go with the randomised lighting, @1:22 you can see clipping of the lightning on the left side.

Nice work so far, it's really good to see you've decided to evolve the gameplay and mechanics.

randomise the lighting? You mean like 60 degree angle?
Danno if you have nice rain sprites please let me know

very sharp eyesight :cool:
I tried but somehow can't make the spawn position more to the left, because I use both scrollx and scrollz at the same time?

In the stage the lighting flashes every 5 seconds, by randomising I mean make it flash 4 seconds, then 10 seconds, then 30 seconds then 46 seconds, then 3 seconds etc

use spawn relative to screen position and make sure the lightning is big enough to pass the screens visible area to match your scrolling

C: 
void spawnscreen(void vName, float fX, float fZ, void Alias, int iDirection)
{
   //spawnscreen (Generic spawner with alias and relative to screen)
   //Spawns entity next to caller.
   //vName: Model name of entity to be spawned in.
   //fX: X location adjustment.
   //fZ: Y location adjustment.
        //fY: Z location adjustment.
   void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
   void vSpawn; //Spawn object.


   clearspawnentry(); //Clear current spawn entry.
   setspawnentry("name",vName); //Acquire spawn entity by name.
 
   vSpawn = spawn(); //Spawn in entity.


   changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "position",openborvariant("xpos")+fX, openborvariant("ypos")+fZ, 0); //Set spawn location.
   if(iDirection){changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "direction", iDirection);} //Set direction.
   if(Alias){changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "name", Alias);} //Set Alias to spawned entity
   changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "parent", self);
   return vSpawn; //Return spawn.

@machok and @danno,

If I may, why use models at all? Run this function in a level update, and it will generate randomized lightning flash effects adapted to your screen size. The lightening has transparency and randomized high speed color cycyling to give it a more appealing strobe effect. It will also attempt to play a thunder sound (you will need to supply one). Adjust the #define values to suit your tastes.

C-like:

Nice idea will do that

it turns out my rain entity is npc type not none type so that's why it couldn't pass through the wall to get the exact coordinate 😱
just realize this after your spawnscreen script also not working, my mistake 🤭



@DCurrent
Script is crash, to be honest not really sure how to use it
I just put it like this
Code: 
updatescript     data/scripts/updatelevel/dc_lightning_flash.c
 
don vecta said:
so, what do you suggest? Take in note that the bright colors are due of the heavy lighting on the ceiling, so still works. Outside is evening/night and inside is fully lit.
Click to expand...
ah, I am not talking about the inside of the temple, but outside, like this part.
See how bright the wall is, in contrast with the pale purple of the sky.
1673554640043.png
It doesn't match - looks like there is a strong and warm source of light lightning that wall.

The same happens here, a bit less strong:
1673554710796.png

Think about the temperature of the light, the mood of the illumination. When sky is redish/purpleish, it paints everything with shades of that color.

Makes sense, yes.
But I would say only the first really need a tweak of color.
The 2nd is ok.

or
I would tweak the upper sky color instead... also perhaps avoiding to have the darker purple "limit" alligned with golden barrier height...
 
Let's keep it fresh in term of colors. :)

I always try to mix up matching colors, but not too similar colors. In my artworks and color comics.
Exemple : red clothes will have purple shadding.
Orange clothes will have more reddish shadding.
And when coloring a forest, I will try to use different types of green :
-some more yellowish
-some more blue-ish

It gives some kind of dynamism of color. Not sure if it make sense in english. :D

EDIT : lazy tweaking... just for fun... (very lazy edit in the right)

I'm not sure I have the patience to work on the source one ^^;
If I remember well, it's from FF Gold.
I did this "edit" with selections and manual color + hue edit.
But It would take longer to me to edit the actual different layers of the source mod.

But if you need it, don't hesitate to take these colors as a reference, or perhaps Don Vecta can tweak it.

I might do a recolor later on, something with better shades

Thank you so much guys, I usually tweak it myself
it's just that I'm still working on Haggar too. Adding new sprites takes up a bit of my time
Not to mention that after that I need to apply it to the new mechanics (which means, trial and error)

Wait! You're making these sprite edits based on Slamamsters sprites, I mean by yourself?
THis is great!!

Thanks!! like it or not I need to do it 😵
this is exactly what I'm worried about when I wanted to add new movements

@NED after getting the new mechanic I hope to get similar sprites for maki 🥳
 
@machok Don't worry. I'll help you with Maki.
Also, When your Haggar sprites are done. I can fix some small errors.
(I think some elements can be tweaked in head area) - Hard to explain, But I sure can fix it easily. :)

When your new mechanics are ready, you can PM me about your sprites needs for Maki, and I can create you a custom sequence of attacks.

Do you plan to add special moves to the characters? (I mean for the extra game mode)
Such as F, F, A or D, U, A or D, F, A...
I think FF characters can have very interesting moves... (And again, I can help here, depending on the complexity of moves you aim for)
