Can they see it the whole way up, as it travels?
Or...perhaps have the increments increase mid-way, and reduce again, closer to the top.

Yes I am thinking about, they can go to the initial position of the beacon, but at the time of the raise, they can't see the whole thing, so perhaps I coukd find a better way like you describe it.

Thanks for your precision, but what Time.deltaTime() do?

It returns the amount of time elapsed since the last update in seconds.

REQUEST: Can someone paste complete scripts for teleport particle effect with different colors? Thanks.
I've asked 3 pages ago but with no reply.

Thanks anyway!

Thanks, I shall try to use it

How do you look at/edit the icons used in the game for races and traits? I wanted to mod in some new races and I wanted to add in unique icons for them in the scripting. I'm not talking about the portraits that you can add in the documents folder. I'm asking about the numerical icons referenced in the .lua files.

You can find the icon images in the asset pack. (The grimrock.net link is broken right now but someone has kindly provided a mirror)

I have the asset pack but I can't find the icons in scripts or textures. I doubt they'd be in models or animations so it's probably that I've overlooked them. Another question I have is how do I put scripts that I've changed into the game. I've tried making new classes and I don't know what to do with them.

assets/textures/gui/skills.dds

When a mod is loaded it will load the dungeon.lua and init.lua in the dungeonFolder path given in the .dungeon_editor file. Just import your other Lua files in the init.lua.

So you can't create modded classes and use them in the default game?

All icons exist internally in a few DDS format images. You can edit these in any image editor that can load and save DDS format. Paint.Net is a free one that supports dds format natively. Gimp and Photoshop are more powerful, and there are free plugins to add DDS support.

The skill images are in one file: skills.dds

The numbers you mentioned correspond to the many 75x75 pixel slots in the image file. (Called an atlas)

You can make your own atlas and add it to the definition of a new skill like so:
(By way of example.)
For an atlas, you can either create the texture yourself, and insert your custom icons (side by side; each 75 pixels square), or you can use the Grimrock Atlas Toolkit.
