Dark Environment?

[Cherrymage]

I tried to make a map with dark environment (almost cannot see unless there are light emitting objects nearby). How to make that dark environment?

 

[WaterKnight]

Omit light. In >Scenario >Map Options you can set the Light Environment, which is basically a set of models containing lights and which get passed to the SetDayNightModels function at map init to be displayed globally.

You can select a standard Light Environment and edit the models or make new ones and call SetDayNightModels yourself.

What are the names of the models?

 

[WaterKnight]

See Environment\DNC\

 

[Cherrymage]

Oh. But how Forsaken omit light in a few of his campaign maps?

 

[WaterKnight]

I do not know Forsaken. What is the problem with the way described above?

 

[Cherrymage]

By omitting light I mean, darken a whole map of my campaign, where you can only see the surroundings if you have a torch.

 

[WaterKnight]

And that is achieved the way I described above.

I think he totally have no idea how to do it.

Here grab the attached files on this post. Remove the war3mapImported and use this action

• Custom script: call SetDayNightModels( "DNCAshenValeTerrain.mdx", "DNCAshenValeUnit.mdx" )

 

[Cherrymage]

hmm......thanks for the file, but is there an alternate way (doesn't require the files)? Like using the same function, but leave ( "DNCAshenValeTerrain.mdx", "DNCAshenValeUnit.mdx" ) into ( ''", "'' )? If no, i'll use these file

 

[sonofjay]

I dunno. This is how I make dark environments. Here's a nice sample if you need a reference of how it looks before using the files.

I don't see a reason why you wouldn't use it when both files are just 1kb.

If you pass empty strings to the function, there will be no environment light at all.

If you pass empty strings to the function, there will be no environment light at all.

Thanks! Now my map full in darkness!
