I need help trying to colorize my map to be like a creepy bluish-green.

Like this:



The only thing different is there is no outside lighting. So the green and blue shades on the walls PLUS THE FLASHLIGHT.

I also cant even equipt a flashlight. It just lets me pick it up. I dont know how to equip it.

Any help is much appreciated!

******EDIT******

I fixed the flashlight issue. It needed script.

I still cant get the shading right. I think i need to play around with the "Ambient" light levels in the Global Script. But is there still an easy way to simulate this?

I find a 'colorpicker'or 'eyedropper' in any art program would work for me when I want a specific color for the ambiance. you cant see the eyedropper tool connected to the color window but as move the tool around the picture it gives me the RGB values of the color I'm over. These numbers can be entered into the Red, Blue, and Green values for your ambiance. Hope that helped.
Example picture attatched.

Stick with simply changing the ambience colour settings, bond's shaders do rock but not necessary for what you want, maybe later when your more comfortable with things..
If you were to use this shader to perform colour correction and didn't want the film grain your going to have a lot of shader code which is not being used and it would be pointless uaing a fullscreen shader for such a thing. I dont know your comp's specs but fullscreen shaders can cause unwanted lag,

Change your ambience colour in setuplevel.fpi:
Files\languagebank\english\gamebank\mygame

Lower the red and green values till you get the blue you want.
:state=0:ambience=25,ambiencered=255,ambiencegreen=255,ambienceblue=255

Throw in some white and blue tint lights and you will achieve what you want far easier.

I don't trip over...I do random gravity checks.

Set one light and change it's color, then grab that same light and place it again and you will have a clone left to place as many times as you want.

That's about as easy as it gets. Maybe you're not getting my meaning. All you have to do is change one light, grab that same light as if you were going to delete it but don't,you place that same changed light over and over again without having to alter each light.

No i understand. I do that a lot. I was just wondering if there was an option to see all lights placed on the map, choose say "all white light" view their information, and change the color for all existing White Lights.

Idk, that would be a nice thing to have. But i get what you are saying.

The only quick way to do it is to create and put your colour into the custom selection box in the colour picker, then select that for each light.
At least you wouldn't have to place them all again.
