I am interested in incorporating a feature into my mod for Thermal Detection, similar to nightvision except it is heat detection instead.

Im sure it would possible, so does anyone have any ideas/links that may help? If someone already has something similar that I can use I would be grateful and will give credit.

Cheers

Heres my basic script,

    player_setup()
    {

       
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ] = newHudElem();
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].x = -80;
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].y = 50;
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].alignX = "right";
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].alignY = "top";
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].horzAlign = "right";
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].vertAlign = "top";
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].fontScale = 1.75;
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].alpha = 1.0;

             level.HUDItem[ "grain" ] = newHudElem();
       level.HUDItem[ "grain" ].x = 0;
       level.HUDItem[ "grain" ].y = 0;
       level.HUDItem[ "grain" ].alignX = "left";
       level.HUDItem[ "grain" ].alignY = "top";
       level.HUDItem[ "grain" ].horzAlign = "fullscreen";
       level.HUDItem[ "grain" ].vertAlign = "fullscreen";
       level.HUDItem[ "grain" ].alpha = 0.4;
       level.HUDItem[ "grain" ].sort = -3;
       
       
          level notify( "blinking_weapon_name_hud_elem" );
       level endon( "blinking_weapon_name_hud_elem" );
       
       if ( !isdefined( level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ] ) )
          return;
       
       for( i = 0 ; i < level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].size ; i++ )
          level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ][ i ].alpha = 0.5;
       
       level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].alpha = 1;
       for(;;)
       {
          level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ] fadeOverTime( 0.2 );
          level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].alpha = 0;
          wait 0.2;
          
          level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ] fadeOverTime( 0.2 );
          level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ].alpha = 1;
          wait 0.2;
       }
       

    }

    thermal_mode()
    {
       level.player endon( "death" );
       inverted = "0";
       
       level.player notifyOnCommand( "switch thermal", "+usereload" );
       level.player notifyOnCommand( "switch thermal", "+activate" );
       for (;;)
       {
          level.player waittill ( "switch thermal" );
          
          
          if ( inverted == "0" )
          {
             set_vision_set( "ac130_inverted", 0 );
             //if ( isdefined( level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ] ) )
             level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ] settext ( "-THERMAL MODE-" );
             level.HUDItem[ "grain" ] setshader ("ac130_overlay_grain", 640, 480);
             
             inverted = "1";
          }
          else
          {
             set_vision_set( "normal", 0 );
             level.HUDItem[ "thermal_mode" ] settext ( &"" );
             level.HUDItem[ "grain" ] setshader ("");
             inverted = "0";
          }

       }
    }

You might have to change it a bit to work with MP, and you also have to precache the shaders.

Hi Mr Grain

Where exactly do I call that in my script? Woud it be possible for you to PM me an example of it working so I can see how it was implemented? Thanks.

notifyoncommand is SP only, dunno if u want singleplayer Uprize...
also set_vision_set wont set the vision in mp, and if it will (with visionsetnaked("visionfile") ) then it will change for everybody

and how does the mp night vision work? is it hardcoded?

There's no .vision file for it, and I never could find a .gsc in the raw files that obviously dealt with it.

this is for MP not SP.
I am sure it must be possible, wouldn't it be something similar to the nightvision setup?

The best i could do for myself was keep editing the color settings and have it inverted to kinda give you that ''feel'' of heat vision.... only its not... but It kinda gets you close.

Just edit the default_night.vision file to some settings you like, and upload it into your mod.
