True Darkness Zone

No scripts, no frills, 100% black, there you go:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
name = "dark_square",
class = "LightSource",
lightPosition = vec(0, 1.4, 0),
lightRange = 2.6,
lightColor = vec(-1, -1, -1),
brightness = 200,
castShadow = false,
placement = "floor",
editorIcon = 88,
}

It's pitch black inside even with a torch or a light spell. There's some visual artifacts, but you can interpret them as a "magic blueish glow" effect as a bonus.

That's so simply done!

[AmiDARK]

Excellent idea

[Neikun]

I think all the versions before this was using negative brightness. Very nice!

[LordYig]

Nice idea.
I would have not think about using a light source for this !

[flatline]

Yeah, used a similar thing for my curses, summoning a dark spot beneath them to make them stand out when cursed. It works really well!

This is cool! If only you couldn't see beyond it either, it would be as good as the darkness spell from D&D.
