I would like to know if it’s possible to create a client-side only spotlight because I want to modify Teta_Bonita’s nightvision script for it creates a client-side spotlight to see better in total darkness. The spotlight would be as big as the player’s screen, and would be positioned where the player aims.
If this is possible, and you feel like helping me, please insert an exemple in Teta_Bonita’s code below please:
-- Clientside Night-Vision
-- Version 1.2
-- by Teta_Bonita
-- console commands:
-- toggle_nightvision -toggles nightvision on/off
if not CLIENT then return end -- Clientside only
-- ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
local AdjustCoefficient = 0.02 -- The bigger this number, the more quickly the nightvision starts up
-- Colormod Settings
local Color_Brightness = 0.8
local Color_Contrast = 1.1
local Color_AddGreen = -0.35
local Color_MultiplyGreen = 0.028
-- Alpha Add Settings (for the CSS nightvision shader)
local AlphaAdd_Alpha = 1
local AlphaAdd_Passes = 1 -- The bigger this integer, the more brightness is added
-- alpha add = AlphaAdd_Alpha*AlphaAdd_Passes
-- Bloom Settings
local Bloom_Multiply = 3.6
local Bloom_Darken = 0
local Bloom_Blur = 0.1
local Bloom_ColorMul = 0.5
local Bloom_Passes = 1 -- Should be an integer
-- END ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
local matNightVision = Material("effects/nightvision") -- CSS nightvision
matNightVision:SetMaterialFloat( "$alpha", AlphaAdd_Alpha )
local Color_Tab =
{
[ "$pp_colour_addr" ] = -1,
[ "$pp_colour_addg" ] = Color_AddGreen,
[ "$pp_colour_addb" ] = -1,
[ "$pp_colour_brightness" ] = Color_Brightness,
[ "$pp_colour_contrast" ] = Color_Contrast,
[ "$pp_colour_colour" ] = 0,
[ "$pp_colour_mulr" ] = 0 ,
[ "$pp_colour_mulg" ] = Color_MultiplyGreen,
[ "$pp_colour_mulb" ] = 0
}
local sndOn = Sound( "items/nvg_on.wav" )
local sndOff = Sound( "items/nvg_off.wav" )
if render.GetDXLevel() < 80 then -- the nightvision shader reverts to a white overlay for dx7 cards, so any more alpha add than 1 gives a white screen
AlphaAdd_Passes = 1
AlphaAdd_Alpha = 0.6 -- Make it less to reduce the whiteness
end
local DoNightVision = false
local CurScale = 0.5
-- A most likely futile attempt to make things faster
local render = render
-- Main effect call
local function NightVisionFX()
if CurScale < 0.995 then
CurScale = CurScale + AdjustCoefficient * (1 - CurScale)
end
-- Alpha add
for i=1,AlphaAdd_Passes do
render.UpdateScreenEffectTexture()
render.SetMaterial( matNightVision )
render.DrawScreenQuad()
end
-- Colormod
Color_Tab[ "$pp_colour_brightness" ] = CurScale * Color_Brightness
Color_Tab[ "$pp_colour_contrast" ] = CurScale * Color_Contrast
DrawColorModify( Color_Tab )
-- Bloom
DrawBloom( Bloom_Darken, -- Darken
CurScale * Bloom_Multiply, -- Multiply
Bloom_Blur, -- Horizontal Blur
Bloom_Blur, -- Vertical Blur
Bloom_Passes, -- Passes
CurScale * Bloom_ColorMul, -- Color Multiplier
0, -- Red
1, -- Green
0 ) -- Blue
end
local function ToggleNightVision()
if DoNightVision then
DoNightVision = false
surface.PlaySound( sndOff )
hook.Remove( "RenderScreenspaceEffects", "NV_Render" )
else
DoNightVision = true
CurScale = 0.5 -- This makes the nightvision start off dark when it's turned back on (for effect)
surface.PlaySound( sndOn )
hook.Add( "RenderScreenspaceEffects", "NV_Render", NightVisionFX )
end
end
concommand.Add( "toggle_worshipper_nightvision", ToggleNightVision )
This is an example of a flashlight I found on the internet (garrysmod.org). I would like the same thing, but only clientside.
