Is there some kind of variable to make the screen shake? Or would it just be simpler to just move every actor in range up and down a bunch of times? |

Why in god's name would you want this? |

I'm making an orbital artillery mod. Sorta like the various nukes and such, but I thought it would be cool to have a multiple delayed hit artillery cannon that caused some kind of shake. I'm planning for Airstrikes, Artillery, Plasma cannons and all of their variations. EDIT2: And I won't actually release this until it's good, unlike my HALO mod, which was mostly a failure. EDIT: I don't mean actually shaking the whole screen, just moving the camera ingame up and down a couple of times. |

In my opinion, the screen shake would be awesome if it was accompanied by a bright light from the sky. It would make sense, that if a nuke was being dropped on the planet that your playing on, the sky would light up from the nuke on its way down. Just a thought. |

you could set view point to a specific actor and have it move around rapidly |

Accompanied by the MW2 "BSHWOOP...BSHWOOOP..." perhaps? That'll definently be part of this. @Grif That'd be Lua, right? |

Yes, it would. |

That was pretty much what I was thinking. Would definitely be a fun way to decimate the map... |

Okay, next question. Is it possible to place things randomly along a horizontal vector? For instance, you call in an artillery strike via Crafts menu. Would it be possible to have it drop a pixel that spawns a few shells dispersed randomly within a certain radius at the top of the map? |

self.Pos.X = self.Pos.X + (math.random() * [dispersal amount] - ([dispersal amount] / 2)); Not sure if the math.random() is correct, it might just be rand(). Or something else entirely. This is in Lua of course. |

Quote: Or would it just be simpler to just move every actor in range up and down a bunch of times? I kind like this idea. Sort of. Force all actors to crouch, and implement a (slight, not too severe) screen shake by setting the viewpoint. Look at Abdul's gunship, he sets the screen position in the lua. (I think) It would simulate a sort of earthquake and loud noise that disorients everybody. |

No it wouldn't. It would just be annoying. |
