| Description | During 0004731, a range of changes and improvements have been suggested for security cameras in general. Most of these are not specific to Epifire's security camera and are therefore tracked here. Discussion thread: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/20005-tdm-security-cameras/ Should be addressed: - (9111, 9112) hardcoded: spotlight properties and texture - hardcoded: sparks particle when the camera is destroyed - hardocded: intervals between alarm sounds - (9110) hardcoded: names of skins - (9113, 9114) colour switches handled inefficiently by the scriptobject - (9109) add a script event to check the camera's state (getSecurityCameraState(), returns 1 to 5) - (9114, 9115) spawnarg "start_on" has no effect - camera can be destroyed by broadhead arrows. (make immune, or see stretch goal for making lens the vulnerable spot) - camera is destroyed too easily by far away fire arrow splash damage (increase health) - issues with falloff images for projected lights (0005528), especially when spotlight is short but wide. - make the camera follow the player once sighted/detected. Should also incline. - update Wiki documentation - search for FMs that use security cameras or their assets and check that they look & behave the same on 2.09 vs 2.10 Could be addressed: - option for mappers to use an own spotlight - allow adjustment of visual acuity - make the time taken go to full alert depend on the brightness of the lightgem - automatically calculate spotlight_diameter to match scanFov unless mapper manually specifies a value Stretch goals: - make lenses vulnerable to broadheads. Probably requires the camera to be an md5mesh with a bone for the lens. - detect AIs hostile to the camera's team |
