How to make storm effect? - Slanderous - 08-11-2013
I just wanted to know, how can I make a boxlight that is simulating storm, I believe something like I want to get was used in "Down The Rabbit Hole", the map with skeleton. (I don't remember the name - I played DTRH a long time ago).

Well, you could always open the HPS file for the map you are referring to and take a peak at what was scripted. Alternatively you could look at this post I made a little while ago, not sure if it's what your looking for but it is indeed a storm consisting of thunder and lightning.

Hope this helps, good luck!

It's very simple: Just a few lines of code:
Make a BoxLight with 0 light (0, 0, 0, 1).
void OnStart()
{
AddTimer("", RandFloat(0.5, 20), "Thunderstrike");
}
void Thunderstrike (sting &in asTimer)
{
FadeLightTo("BoxLight_thunder", 1, 1, 1, 1, -1, 0.1);
AddTimer("", RandFloat(0.5, 20), "Thunder_effects");
}
void Thunder_effects (string &in asTimer)
{
AddTimer("", RandFloat(0.5, 20), "Thunderstrike");
FadeLightTo("BoxLight_thunder", 0, 0, 1, 1, -1, 0.1);
PlayGuiSound("general_thunder.snt", 1);
}

Thanks, much appreciated.

Thanks, and yes I would open the map .hps file, but I don't have this mod for now (Amnesia reinstall).
