• Possibly have the overlay opacity lerp between light levels instead of using a cosine function (not sure if possible/feasible)
• Sky light should not affect overlay's opacity (https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1313449116068917249)

oh ok cool

now it's acting buggy
i stg every time im about to commit something

what's it doing? depending on the severity of it i'd say just commit it anyway and say it's a feature lol

@MerpisMe there's a problem with this, I makes the Warden dark even in a light level of 1.
I just found another solution that properly interpolates the value based on the light level and if it's higher or not, it won't have the fancy dimming once the light source is removed, but it also won't be buggy, and it doesn't dramatically shift how much the overlay glows between light levels. Should I commit that version instead?

Actually I was wrong, it still does have the cool dimming. I’ll just commit it then.

nope i just fixed it. Basically if we want to have the warden to continue changing it's value and slowly glow after light is removed, it'll be buggy, so I sadly had to remove it.

Closing this as we probably have the best solution we'll get at the moment, unless someone else knows how to do this better

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT AGAIN

ok seriously though, second one is easy, and for the first... I have no clue what "lerp" is.
Is she your sister?

linear interpolate

this would probably require storing the previous light level somewhere separate, which may be an issue for performance/organization

I don't even know how to use lerp so I'd need an example first, do you know by any chance where this is used in MC

NVM, just saw something in MangroveBoatEntity that uses it

glow squid also use it when fading in after being attacked, which would probably be far more helpful to you since it's already half done there

yeah idk if I can do it

alright then fair enough. would you be able to at least smooth the transition out a bit? it's near instant at the moment

by this do you mean it snaps to dark if a light source is placed?

yeah, but removing one works perfectly

tbh, that's fine, it'll be unnoticeable and we can just call it a feature (unless the fade to bright is really long and noticeable, in which case maybe shorten the duration of the fade so it's not as easy to see the difference)

Just committed what I have atm so you can see if I'm doing something wrong

Well uh
I got it working, but here's the catch:
When you remove a light source the Warden's bright again, and it fades to dark

I fixed that just now (EASY) but how do I get it to fade when the light lowers? As of now it just snaps to dark.

nope that actually makes it worse somehow, wth am I doing wrong

here, just leave it i'll test it in a sec

THIS IS PERFECT
it doesnt really matter that there's no transition when a light source is placed since it happens at the exact same time that the light appears
if anything it's kinda neat that there is no transition since it makes it seem like it's more susceptible to light

im an idiot I forgot to actually change the lastLightLevel
