<@&673391557939953684> im trying to make a lua talker to set up a darkness level after the talker is interacted with, but couldnt make it set the darkness, the dialog works
#lua cutscenes help
lean python
warm moat
I'd assume setDarkness accepts a number, not a string
lean python
i couldnt make it work with a number either for some reason 
surreal radish
does lua allow spaces before parentheses in the function call?
lean python
huh????????????????????????
ok nvm
no it still doesnt work
doesnt work
yep no
does this command like
not work????
warm moat
Does anything show up in the log?
surreal radish
have you tried it with an extreme value to make sure it's actually not working?
lean python
Does anything show up in the log?
uhm i dunno
lean python
have you tried it with an extreme value to make sure it's actually not working?
darkness is between 0 and 1 so im skeptic anything would change at all
yep it definitely does nothing
surreal radish
it does, it sets bloom 
surreal radish
doesn't look like it
lean python
@split bay 
lost crow
There's another one for bloom strength too
surreal radish
I'm assuming people just used set darkness alpha triggers
lean python
this is a talker though
surreal radish
also you can still just set Session.DarkRoomAlpha from lua cutscenes
lost crow
I'm not sure DarkRoomAlpha would do it, it's only applied on room load it seems
lean python
lean python
soooooooooooooooooooooo
lost crow
this happens on room load
you probably want engine.Scene.Lighting.Alpha = amount to set the lighting immediately, but you might also want to mess with the session to have the value persist (unless you also use a light fade trigger) 
lean python
well
surreal radish
(to get engine, do local engine = require("#monocle.engine"))
lean python
this did not work either
lost crow
oh, or you can do getLevel().Lighting.Alpha = amount
lean python
can you write it out im stupid for c sharp lua syntax
lost crow
does it say the dialogue? 
surreal radish
oh, or you can do `getLevel().Lighting.Alpha = amount`
this is literally the code
just replace amount with the value you want
lean python
oh, or you can do `getLevel().Lighting.Alpha = amount`
this code
worked
but now the dialog doesnt
lost crow
and there's literally nothing between the lighting changing and the dialog?
lean python
uh
unsolved
im now gonna ask something else
@surreal radish or whoever knows fmod fuckery
doesnt play sound
i did everything according to the wiki page
surreal radish
uhhh idk shit about fmod sorry
lean python
@lost crow ?
warm moat
Does your event show up in the sound test menu?
surreal radish
if you just created the bank, did you restart the game?
otherwise, if you just created the event, do you have fmod live update on?
lean python
pretty sure i have live update on?
restarted the game
does
not work
enough celeste for today im tired holy fuck
split bay
it does, it sets bloom <:rad3dpausecorn:953465330649407518>
pretty sure this was intentional when it came out 🤔 either that or a placeholder
