Well, if there is a unit on the hex, you could create an extra animation for the unit. But if you don't want to animate units, you can use the [item] tag.Let's say I want an event where the camera pans to a spooky castle and then a timely animated lightning bolt strikes a hex.
How do I animate the lightning bolt?
Example:
Code:
[item] x=X y=Y halo=halo/lightning-bolt-1-[1~4].png:150,misc/blank-hex.png:3000 #A blank hex to avoid repetition. It will give you time to remove the image after.[/item][redraw][/redraw] #Necessary to redraw the screen.[sound] name=lightning.ogg #Maybe a sound here...[/sound][delay] time=700 #Add a delay long enough to show the image before removing it. (150 x 4=600) So, 700 to be safe.[/delay]{REMOVE_IMAGE X Y} #Then you can use the macro to remove the image.The problem with using the lightning halo in the item tag is that it doesn't look very good; the center of the halo is too high. You would have to place the lightning halo about 2 hexes above.
That's a bit complicated, but my idea would be to create nested events. Additionally, it would be difficult to keep adding and removing the bonus after each turn. Maybe someone else has an idea.And let's say I want an event so that any tile you kill an enemy ghoul on has a scenery/flames01-15 animation for 1 turn? Also with a fire-aura halo and a lawful bonus to adjacent units?
