[INC] ScreenFade Util [RAGE Supported]

Rage version of this : - Clic on me -

Two stocks :

Code:

// Main util

UTIL_ScreenFade(id=0,iColor[3]={0,0,0},Float:flFxTime=-1.0,Float:flHoldTime=0.0,iAlpha=0,iFlags=FFADE_IN,bool:bReliable=false,bool:bExternal=false)



// Util from main util

UTIL_FadeToBlack(id,Float:fxtime=3.0,bool:bReliable=false,bool:bExternal=false)

Details :

fxtime and time in seconds (that's the main idea of this util).
Color, type : {0-255,0-255,0-255}
Alpha, type : 0-255
bReliable : if true, uses MSG_ONE or MSG_ALL, if false uses MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE or MSG_BROADCAST
bExternal : if true uses emessage

How to use this stock with a cvar that handle color ?

Cvar should be like this :

Code:

    cvar_pointer = register_cvar("cvar_color", "RRRGGGBBB")

Even if some values are less than 100, you should put the 3 digits, aka 10 -> 010

Then to retrieve the color use :

PHP Code:


		
			
get_cvar_color( g_pCvar )

{

    new Color[3]



    new iTemp = get_pcvar_num(g_pCvar)

    Color[0] = iTemp / 1000000

    iTemp %= 1000000

    Color[1] = iTemp / 1000

    Color[2] = iTemp % 1000



    return Color

}

Hey,

Have a see here please : http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=88224 :cry:

Re: [INC] ScreenFade Util

so with this you would not be able to make a cvar "rgb" colors becuase there has to be a value in the {0,0,0} correct?

Re: [INC] ScreenFade Util

they are rgb, {R, G, B}

Like this?

PHP Code:


		
			
new gCvar[ 3 ];
public plugin_init( ) 
{
    gCvar[ 0 ] = register_cvar( "color_red", "100" );
    gCvar[ 1 ] = register_cvar( "color_green", "255" );
    gCvar[ 2 ] = register_cvar( "color_blue", "0" );
}
func( id )
{
    new iColor[ 3 ];
    iColor[ 0 ] = get_pcvar_num( gCvar[ 0 ] );
    iColor[ 1 ] = get_pcvar_num( gCvar[ 1 ] );
    iColor[ 2 ] = get_pcvar_num( gCvar[ 2 ] );
    UTIL_ScreenFade( id, iColor, 1.0....... );
}

    iColor[ 2 ] = get_pcvar_num( gCvar[ 2 ] );
    UTIL_ScreenFade( id, iColor, 1.0....... );
}

maybe. but i was thinking more like on cvar. like i_colors "255 0 0"

Re: [INC] ScreenFade Util

Example with 3 way to handle colors by cvars :

way 1 is recommanded, way 2 is deprecated.

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <amxmodx>
#include "screenfade_util.inc"

new g_pCvarType1, 
    g_pCvarType2, 
    g_pCvarType3_Red, g_pCvarType3_Green, g_pCvarType3_Blue

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("color test", "0.1", "noob")

    g_pCvarType1 = register_cvar("color_type1", "000200000")

    g_pCvarType2 = register_cvar("color_type2", "0 200 0")

    g_pCvarType3_Red = register_cvar("color_type3_red", "0")
    g_pCvarType3_Green = register_cvar("color_type3_green", "200")
    g_pCvarType3_Blue = register_cvar("color_type3_blue", "0")

    register_clcmd("say test1", "test1")
    register_clcmd("say test2", "test2")
    register_clcmd("say test3", "test3")
}

public test1( id )
{
    UTIL_ScreenFade(id, get_cvar_color1(g_pCvarType1), 10.0, 10.0, 250)
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public test2( id )
{
    UTIL_ScreenFade(id, get_cvar_color2(g_pCvarType2), 10.0, 10.0, 250)
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public test3( id )
{
    UTIL_ScreenFade(id, get_cvar_color3(g_pCvarType3_Red, g_pCvarType3_Green, g_pCvarType3_Blue), 10.0, 10.0, 250)
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

stock get_cvar_color1( g_pCvar ) // 4 natives // 1 if don't use clamp
{
    new Color[3]

    new iTemp = get_pcvar_num(g_pCvar)
    Color[0] = clamp(iTemp / 1000000, 0, 255)
    iTemp %= 1000000
    Color[1] = clamp(iTemp / 1000, 0, 255)
    Color[2] = clamp(iTemp % 1000, 0, 255)

    return Color
}

stock get_cvar_color2( g_pCvar ) // 8 natives // 5 if don't use clamp
{
    new Color[3]

    new szColor[12] // "RRR GGG BBB"
    get_pcvar_string(g_pCvar, szColor, charsmax(szColor))

    new szRed[4], szGreen[4], szBlue[4]
    parse(szColor, szRed, charsmax(szRed), szGreen, charsmax(szGreen), szBlue, charsmax(szBlue))
    Color[0] = clamp(str_to_num(szRed), 0, 255)
    Color[1] = clamp(str_to_num(szGreen), 0, 255)
    Color[2] = clamp(str_to_num(szBlue), 0, 255)

    return Color
}

stock get_cvar_color3( g_pCvar_Red, g_pCvar_Green, g_pCvar_Blue ) // 6 natives // 3 if don't use clamp
{
    new Color[3]

    Color[0] = clamp(get_pcvar_num(g_pCvar_Red), 0, 255)
    Color[1] = clamp(get_pcvar_num(g_pCvar_Green), 0, 255)
    Color[2] = clamp(get_pcvar_num(g_pCvar_Blue), 0, 255)

    return Color
}

    {
        return 0xFF
    }
    return iByte
}

ive been looking trying to understand this and its not working very well haha. but what i think might be right is i would make a cvar from what you have given me which would be like

PHP Code:


		
			
iColor = register_cvar( "i_color", "255 0 0" )

is that correct?

Edit: so ive been messing around with it. and nothing. here is the latest method I have tried:

PHP Code:


		
			
     #include <amxmodx>
#include <screenfade_util>

new gCvar_Color;

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin( PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR );
    
    register_event( "DeathMsg" , "fwDeathMsg" , "a" );
    
    gCvar_Color = register_cvar( "stk_Color", "255 0 0" )
    
}

public fwDeathMsg(id) 
{
            if( get_pcvar_num( gCvar_Screenfade ))
            { 
            new Color_red, Color_green, Color_blue;
            new color[16], red[4], green[4], blue[4];
            get_pcvar_string(gCvar_Color, color, 15);
            parse(color, red, 3, green, 3, blue, 3);
            
            Color_red = str_to_num(red);
            Color_green = str_to_num(green);
            Color_blue = str_to_num(blue);
                
            UTIL_ScreenFade( id, {gCvar_Color},1.0,0.0,75  );
            }
        }
    }
}

this isnt all of the code but its what i have done to it. the error is: Error: Must be a constant expression; assumed zero on line 57 <--- that is the UTIL_ScreenFade line the last line of code. any ideas?
