Post Processing Effect by Script for Individual Players?

[meatball 25]

Just wondering if there's any way to script a change in an individuals post processing effects to add and then later remove one of the effects. I'd like to be able to set it so the players (and only that player) screen goes completely Black and White, and then later be able to remove that effect without changing everyone's view. That possible?

I'm not sure and maybe talking complete rubbish but I was messing with this recently, try putting it in a trigger grouping or attaching the trigger to player, I know the effect only worked inside the trigger. Or probably there's a more eloquent way.

I've tried a bunch of different ways to do this without any luck so far. The one I thought would work was placing two Post Processing modules on the map, one set to the "Black & White" template, one set a "None" template. Then I synched a trigger to each with the variable check that should turn each one on or off, but no dice.

Gonna keep trying though...

You can't run the PP module functions locally? Find the function that the module runs and try to run it locally instead of globally.

Ah, perfect. I dug around the functions and finally came up with the following function that you can call:

[0,1,2] call bis_fnc_setppeffecttemplate;

Where the Parameters are:

0: STRING - template class [Options: "NONE", "EastWind","RealisBrown","BlackandWhite","Mediterranean"]

1 (Optional): NUMBER - commit time in seconds (default: 0)

2 (Optional): BOOL - true for global execution (default: true)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Edit: Not sure why it's putting a space in "Mediterranean" up above, but there shouldn't be one, it's all one word.
