FX's?

[HavoC]

I've seen people use fx's in there scripting and stuff but idk where they located how to see them/ test them? and how the gsc has to look if u have to script for it. thx

Open up any map that contains some FX, now in the maps gsc file (maps\mp\mapname.gsc), you will see a line that will look something like the following...

Code: Select all

thread maps\mp\_fx::init();

Basically that tells the server to run the "_fx.gsc" (which will also be found with the map gsc).
Open up the "_fx.gsc" and you will see things such as...

precacheFX("fxname");
playFX("fx",origin);

Take a look in those folder and you will certainly be on your way to understanding.
