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.
