00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:01,720
Welcome back.

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,610
One module that we can script real quick in this lecture is going to be our lightning service.

3
00:00:06,610 --> 00:00:12,910
All the service is going to do is continually loop and randomly fire an event to clients to summon lightning.

4
00:00:12,910 --> 00:00:16,900
So that means the only thing that we're going to need in here is replicated storage.

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,990
To make a reference to the game comms event, we can quickly create our table.

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,990
That will represent our service, and we'll make sure to return it at the end of our script here.

7
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:34,470
And then we can make a reference to our game comms event.

8
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:38,010
That remotes game communication.

9
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:41,010
And then we can also get our game comms enum.

10
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:46,500
So we'll require from upgraded storage dot modules, dot enums, dot game communication enum.

11
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:49,680
And then we're also going to need a random data type.

12
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:55,210
Then we can just have a start function inside of our lightning service.

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:02,170
And all this is going to do is it's going to spawn a while loop in a new thread so we can use task dot

14
00:01:02,170 --> 00:01:05,140
defer because we don't need it to run instantaneously.

15
00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:08,320
And we'll just have a loop that runs forever.

16
00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:15,250
And all we're going to do is we're going to use our RNG next integer function, pass a number of like

17
00:01:15,250 --> 00:01:17,410
something between 1 and 35.

18
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:24,460
And if that's equal to one, then we can use the game comms event and fire to all of the clients in

19
00:01:24,460 --> 00:01:27,790
our game to summon lightning.

20
00:01:27,790 --> 00:01:31,960
So game comms enum dot two client dot lightning.

21
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:37,990
And then just to make sure that lightning doesn't fire too often after we fire to all the clients,

22
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:40,240
we'll just wait something like three seconds.

23
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:45,040
And then this whole while loop itself will run every single second.

24
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,400
So we'll have a yield for one second, and then it'll do the check.

25
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,620
And then that means lightning should fire maybe once about every 35 seconds.

26
00:01:53,620 --> 00:01:56,050
And that's all we need to do for this service.

27
00:01:56,050 --> 00:01:58,450
Now to actually see lightning inside of our game.

28
00:01:58,450 --> 00:02:01,270
Let's go ahead and reset the brightness back to be zero.

29
00:02:01,270 --> 00:02:06,010
And let's go ahead and enable fog to its original state of 135.

30
00:02:06,010 --> 00:02:08,080
And let's go ahead and test out our lightning.

31
00:02:09,770 --> 00:02:12,500
So at some point we should have lightning.

32
00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:13,280
There we go.

33
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,440
And there's our lightning.

34
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,990
So we further added to the ambiance in our game where the brightness in the workspace increases and

35
00:02:20,990 --> 00:02:23,090
we get some nice lightning sound effects.

36
00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:28,070
And because we're looping it from the server, that means all of the clients in our game will have lightning

37
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:31,190
effects applied at the exact same time as each other.

38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,040
Let's see if we can get another lightning strike here.

39
00:02:37,180 --> 00:02:38,470
And there we go.

40
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:41,230
So looks like our ambience is coming together.

41
00:02:41,230 --> 00:02:41,770
Great.

42
00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:45,490
That's all for me in this lecture, and I will see you in the next one.
