tweak: Aurora Caelus event reworked
/:cl:

[jcatjmeow]

ok so I downloaded your pr and tested the event.

1. the ending message plays twice. Once in the middle of the song, and once again as the song is ending.
2. no ions/meteors spawn of any kind.

This needs further work

could you make the ion bolts greyscale and just have em pick colors like green, red, blue, and yellow?

I like the current subtle glow but I do agree its visually uninteresting and if it doesn't function without parallax then that's definitely an issue. I don't really like this method of tackling it though and would prefer the current subtle prettiness over ions smacking the station, even if its more accurate to the flavor text.

This doesn't mean very much but I approve

Why don't you keep the original aurora too

[Firewolf34]

Yeah I would say... Please keep the original aurora event and add this to it if you're doing this

Suggested change

	. = ..()
	. = ..()
	var/xxx = round(world.maxx/2)
	var/yyy = round(world.maxy/2)
	chase_target(locate(xxx, yyy, 2))

This will make each bolt go towards the center of the station. It might not be the best but it does help more of them hit the windows.

I've also been asked to see if you would consider keeping the old event stuff too. Like the color changes to the starlight.

[Sun-Soaked]

just add these bolts to the old aurora, instead of replacing it.
