hey Ron we're at the UCI eSports arena opening as hosted by iBUYPOWER right now we're looking at some NZXT stuff we'll get to the UCI stuff in a bit so this is a new cam update we are looking at some RGB lighting effects as interacting with csgo this particular update is pushed using the valve API for game states so when we're talking about game states in CS things you're looking at or like this interaction right here you saw the lights went whitish blue so that will happen when a flashbang goes off the player who is running this system is flashed by the flash man you'll see the white green is the health and then there are also game state effects for the bomb so when c-4 is planted and the timer is going off it'll tick sort of a yellow orange when it starts and as the time nears its its completion the last 10 seconds it'll go red for player health it's sort of at the bottom of the priority stack so you can think of this current Green there at full health bottle the stack if another game State event comes in that takes priority over health like a grenade or c4 then that goes on top of the priorities list and takes priority over the health demonstration this is the c4 effect so this is the highest priority effect in the game state api for csgo so that's always going to take priority over grenades and then over health in that order the grenade states that we haven't covered there's the flashbang one so you know if a player is flashed there's a game state effect I think for incendiary so it'll appear orange if they're in immense in the area like a fire effect and then there's also one for smoke we're all to do sort of a white or an off blue color when the player is in smoke so I guess the the consumer use case of this is it's just kind of cool it's a way to put your lights to use this is pretty specifically using the hue plus setup which is an NZXT product it plugs into cam so that's what we're looking at today the wider use case the one that's kind of interesting and ties into the UCI esports arena is the potential deployment for things like eSports teams so if you have five players on a stage five versus five each one has five of these systems an h 440 envious case just by coincidence that is a any sports team so you can see from the actual stage presence of the machines what the game state is for a particular player you know if they're dead if the machines red so when the player dies the lights will turn red instead of the green or yellow or whatever so that's kind of the the potential actual use case in a real-world scenario for an eSports event as for the release date you can expect the hue plus lighting effect through cam to come out sometime early October and there may be some additional game states that are added in by the NZXT team the article in the description below will explain those so as always links on description below for more information patreon link to help us out directly again this is at the UCI esports arena we will have additional coverage on this pretty cool stuff in terms of getting esports in front of the public in a more direct way thank you for watching subscribe for more I'll see you all next time
