camp fire with brighting around fire.
and thunder flash continuously. ive been working on this one and cant seem to get it right.
Lightning:
Make a Parallel Process event. Have it with some sort of Wait Frames thing, and then do a flash screen command. Put a Lightning Sound Effect around that too. Also, a Weather Effect of Rain wouldn't hurt. :>
Fire:
This requires a little more eventing, but it'll probably end up with something like some picture overlay...There was a tutorial on such lighting lying around here...I think...I'll find it.

Sure, it's used in a different situation, but the premise is similar...I think. It'll be a bit hard to understand since the pictures are removed...but oh well.
Alternatively, you can find a Lighting Script. Near Fantastica made one, for example (Though it'll probably require the dreaded SDK).
thank you first off.
sorry i didnt post in correct space.
as far as thunder and lightning i dont really know what to use for the stuff till you wrote it. ive been making an even that was autoplay always on top weather effect rain. then for the thunder i was doing the sound and flash but again i thought it was autoplay always on top. thank you. i shall fix this. my pracite map is getting cooler and cooler.
Hehe, I love when maps have those awesome effects.
Don't use Autorun for events like those. Autorun disables player control, while Parallel Process enables it. That's pretty much the only difference between them.
i do still have 1 problem and its the map looks like day for a split second when the map shows up. then it goes to night like i want. i use the screen color tone
also show i make events erase themselves? is there a reason to?
You can use the "Erase Event" Command, but this only temporarily erases them for the map. The event will come back after leaving the map. It has some limited uses.
Anyway, for your screen color tone...Set the wait time to 0 (I think there's a wait time, this is going off the top of my head) and then set it to the tint you want.
Here's a topic that talks about screen tints: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,4231.0.html Preferably that'll be your first command in a Parallel Process thing before anything else. :p
