Player Oriented Cinematic Filter

[blit_40912]

peepz,

suppose that I have a triggered spell in which blinds the player's sight for a duration by using cinematics <telescope filter - orc campaign>

How to apply filters on different players?
could you also provide a simple example trigger?

p.s. I've read about the "getlocalplayer()" but i've lost the thread; does this also mean that i have to tuck in jass codes on triggers?

tnx

You're going to need these functions. (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1676883-post6.html )
Click on your map's name in the Trigger Editor where you can place custom functions.

Paste the JASS functions there. Create all the globals in the post, be sure to initialize the timer arrays!

Then you're going to use the last function in order to call these "blindings"

EX:

• Custom Script: call CinematicFadeForPlayer (Player(0), 2, 5.00, null, 100.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00)

Edit: That example crashed me, so ignore lol, I must have something invalid in there. Too tired to figure it out sorry But you will need these functions. Someone else is needed to tell you how to use them though. GL

Positive.

Well, at least the GUI action Video - Fade Filter and what connects to it are not local-friendly. The functions you linked mimic Blizzard's way of applying the filter.

For simplicity for a GUI user, create additional variables:
playerVar (player)
fadeType (integer)
FADE_TYPE_IN (integer, value=0)
FADE_TYPE_OUT (integer, value=1)
FADE_TYPE_OUTIN (integer, value=2)
duration (real)
texture (string)
FILTER_TEXTURE_WHITE (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\White_mask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_BLACK (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\Black_mask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_HAZE (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\HazeFilter_mask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_GROUND_FOG (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\GroundFog_mask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_HAZE_AND_FOG (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\HazeAndFogFilter_Mask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_SLASH (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\DiagonalSlash_mask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_DREAM (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\DreamFilter_Mask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_SCOPE (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\Scope_Mask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_POW (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\SpecialPowMask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_SPLAT (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\SpecialSplatMask.blp")
FILTER_TEXTURE_PANDA (string, value="ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\Panda-n-Cub.blp")
red (real)
green (real)
blue (real)
transparency (real)

Then write where you want to deploy the filter:

• Custom Script: call CinematicFadeForPlayer (udg_playerVar, udg_fadeType, udg_duration, udg_texture, udg_red, udg_green, udg_blue, udg_transparency)

and before that line, you set all the variables with Set Variable-actions to your desired values.
