Fabien Wang:

__NOTOC__
{{Server client function}}
This function changes the sky color to a two-color gradient.

==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
bool setSkyGradient ( [ int topRed = 0, int topGreen = 0, int topBlue = 0, int bottomRed = 0, int bottomGreen = 0, int bottomBlue = 0 ] )
</syntaxhighlight>

===Optional Arguments===
{{OptionalArg}}
*'''topRed:''' The ''red'' value of the upper part of the sky, from 0 to 255.
*'''topGreen:''' The ''green'' value of the upper part of the sky, from 0 to 255.
*'''topBlue:''' The ''blue'' value of the upper part of the sky, from 0 to 255.
*'''bottomRed:''' The ''red'' value of the lower part of the sky, from 0 to 255.
*'''bottomGreen:''' The ''green'' value of the lower part of the sky, from 0 to 255.
*'''bottomBlue:''' The ''blue'' value of the lower part of the sky, from 0 to 255.

===Returns===
Returns ''true'' if sky color was set correctly, ''false'' if invalid values were passed.

==Example==
This example sets the sky to a hot pink gradient.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">

__NOTOC__
{{Server client function}}
This function changes the heat haze effect.

==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
bool setHeatHaze ( int intensity, [ int randomShift = 0, int speedMin = 12, int speedMax = 18, int scanSizeX = 75, int scanSizeY = 80, int renderSizeX = 80, int renderSizeY = 85, bool bShowInside = false ] )
</syntaxhighlight>

===Optional Arguments===
{{OptionalArg}}
*'''intensity:''' The intensity of the effect, from 0 to 255.
*'''randomShift:''' Sets a random jitter, from 0 to 255.
*'''speedMin:''' The slowest effect speed, from 0 to 1000.
*'''speedMax:''' The fastest effect speed, from 0 to 1000.
*'''scanSizeX:''' The X size in pixels of the chunk grabbed from the screen, from -1000 to 1000.
*'''scanSizeY:''' The Y size in pixels of the chunk grabbed from the screen, from -1000 to 1000.
*'''renderSizeX:''' The X size in pixels the chunk will be when rendered back to the screen, from 0 to 1000.
*'''renderSizeY:''' The Y size in pixels the chunk will be when rendered back to the screen, from 0 to 1000.
*'''bShowInside:''' Set to ''true'' to enable the heat haze effect when inside a building.

===Returns===
Returns ''true'' if the heat haze effect was set correctly, ''false'' if invalid values were passed.

==Example==
This example turns the heat haze effect off.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
setHeatHaze ( 0 )

This example will show some kind of electric world effect or like a compression with lost of the images ^^.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
setHeatHaze ( 50, 20, 0, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, true )
