I cant get the Flashlight plugin to work (using AGS 2.55).
I put this in the room script:
function room_a() {
// script for room: Player enters screen (before fadein)
SetFlashlightDarkness (20);
SetFlashlightBrightness (GetFlashlightMaxLightLevel ());
SetFlashlightDarknessSize (50);
SetFlashlightBrightnessSize (10);
SetFlashlightFollowCharacter (GetPlayerCharacter (), 0, -20, 20, 10);
}
....but nothing happends.
:'(
Are you sure its supposed to work with an AGS version thats before 2.62? I seem to remember some plugins dont work with versions before a certain release number. It very well could include yours, I'm just checking. Did you read any accompanying Read Me/Help file with it?
Did you put the downloaded pieces in their correct location in the games folder, where ever it may be?
Also, what colour depth is your game at?
I guess this plugin probably won't work if you're making a 256 colour game.
I can't get it to work too, and i am using 2.62 - 32 bit..... Nothing works !
As far as I remember, there was no 32bit mode support in AGS at the time the plugin was released. Therefore it only works in 16/15bit modes. If you have a different mode set up (256col/32bit) then nothing happens - that's how it works, if memory serves me right.
