Flash blocks

[DJ-Col7]

Earlier while building a sniper ship i had a thought...what about blocks that when linked to a weapons system would flash when the weapon fired? Or we could have that fuction built into the pre-existing light blocks. This could make some pretty cool muzzle flashes or 'power surges'.

A block that is brighter the greater your power-bar-level?

Blocks which only emit light if a player is close?

Blocks which are always-visible (they have light, but don\'t emmit light).



Maybe this comes together with lua. I would like to have hue (rainbow or red lights), brightness and distance (instead of contrast) adjustable per array.

But it should be a on/off-able feature, because I can imagine it eating a lot of fps

Seeing as how lua is being integrated and all, perhaps we could program the light blocks to do certain things eg flash when something takes damage.

Epic, enough said.
