Fog?BlackMask?

How do I use Blackmask?

 

[dimitri231]

Wait, what do you mean by Dark and blurry?do you have a map example?

 

[Element of Water]

If it's using fog then...

if GetLocalPlayer() = THE_PLAYER then
    call SetTerrainFogEx( STYLE, ZSTART, ZEND, DENSITY, RED, GREEN, BLUE )
endif

 

[Koblin]

do you have a map example?

No, but isn't it easy to understand? Make the screen of a specific player darker than usual

 

[Element of Water]

Look at my example. Muck around with the values. RED, GREEN and BLUE should all be the same, probably about 0.5 if you want to make the screen dark. STYLE should probably be 0 (linear) ZSTART should be 0, ZEND should be about 8000 maybe. I'm not entirely sure what DENSITY does.

What is ZEND and ZSTART?

 

[Element of Water]

ZSTART is the z position (height) where the fog starts and ZEND is where the fog finishes.

ZSTART is the z position (height) where the fog starts and ZEND is where the fog finishes.

And what is the default height of the terrain?
But anyway, doesn't this affect all players on the entire map?

 

[Element of Water]

The default height of the terrain should be 0 I think.

And it doesn't affect every player if you do it in the

if GetLocalPlayer() == YOUR_PLAYER then
endif

block

What does your block do? It seems so ilogical to me

 

[Element of Water]

GetLocalPlayer() returns the player id of the player on the computer it runs on. AKA for Player 1's computer it always returns Player(0). This means that any code in this block will only run for the given player.

 

[Koblin]

The fog doesn't seem to work very well

 

[Element of Water]

Well, it's the best I can think of. I guess you could show a translucent image over the screen...

 

[Jaijaibinx]

what about a fade filter, but i don't know how to make that MPI?.. any way to do that?

 

[Element of Water]

just do it with GetLocalPlayer()

 

[Jaijaibinx]

in GUI? or what do u do for jass for the whole thing.

 

[Element of Water]

you can do custom script if-then-endif in GUI.
