Black Screen?

[RaiJin]

Okay so i just simple want a trigger that makes the GAMING screen go ENTIRELY BLACK(Not the menu's and the minimap ... so on)

But its only for a specific player like lets say i did

event - unit starts the effect of an ability
conditions - ability = ....
actions - Making Screen Go black for Owner Of (TargetUnitOfAbilityBeingCast)

soemthing like that

Im not at my computer with World Edit on at the moment so im not 100% sure this will work:

• Events
  • Unit - *Your Unit* Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Ability Being Cast Equal to *the ability you want*
  • Actions
  • Cinematic - Fade out over 0.00 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.0%) with 0.0% transparency

Now im not sure if the action will work, because you may have to be in cinematic mode for the fade to work, but try it anyway to see if it will...

Yeah, just use the 'cinematic - fade out' action to blacken the screen.

 

[RaiJin]

problem is wont that fade out for everyone? i want it to be faded out for a specific player.

 

[LurkerAspect]

Erm... you're right. I don't know, sorry.

You could try this:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
  • Cinematic - Fade out over 0.00 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.0%) with 0.0% transparency
  • Custom script: endif

But it may desync in a multiplayer game.

How about:

Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (YOUR PLAYER) emitting Black mask across (Playable map area)

?

Or don't you want the player to be able to control his units either?

 

[RaiJin]

Like Everything is the same its juts a black screen pretty much.

ive seen it been done :Q_

 

[Randor244]

Doesn't my trigger do that?

 

[RaiJin]

wait does it still allow you to use your units?

 

[Randor244]

Oh, I'm sorry, that trigger doesn't even hide all units on the screen, strangely enough... I can find no explanation for that but nevertheless it doesnt...

I'm sorry, I should have tried it out before posting it

Your trigger enables the Fog of War. Your units have x range and that reveals the Fog of War. It makes sense.

For the cinematic fade filter can't you just put like:

Fade out for (Owner of targeted unit) using BLah Blah

or something like that? (Once again I am away from WE so im not sure if you can)
