I'd like to be a bit helpful so i'm releasing my tool to manipulate/add/edit/rotate effects in-game.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ifwte04ml26v4kp/efx_tool.rar?dl=0

Since i was the only user of this tool I didn't really write a good readme file to explain hwo to use it, so here's the plain .txt with some informations:

Quote

cmd: \cfx option:arg1:arg2:etc..

fx types: oneshotfx, loopfx, soundfx

options:

* cfx create:<fx type> - create "FX object" at players current origin

* cfx select:<id> - select fx object

* cfx trigger - toggle on or off an effect

* cfx set:fxid:<fxid> - bind effect to selected object

* cfx set:soundalias:<sound> - .....

* cfx set:repeatDelay:<time> - time after "oneshotfx" gets played again, and again....

* cfx toplayer - moves effect to player's current position

* cfx move:<axis>:<units> - move FX by <units> to given <axis> (axis are: X, Y, Z)

* cfx rotate:<axis>:<degrees> - rotate FX by <degrees> to given <axis> (axis are: X, Y, Z)

* cfx save - save all effects (.gsc code) to logfile

example:

cfx create:oneshotfx
cfx set:fxid:acid_pour
cfx rotate:x:270
cfx trigger

gsc:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
level._effect[ "acid_pour" ] = loadfx( ... );
braxi\_fxutil::init_effects();

KEEP IN MIND YOU NEED DEVELOPER AND DEVELOPER_SCRIPT ENABLED TO USE IT.

You can also use this function to toggle effect (enable/disable):

Code Snippet

Plaintext

braxi\_fxutil::TriggerEffect( <effect ent> );

Here's a short video of this tool in action: http://social.xfire.com/videos/61671b

I'll update this topic when I find some time.

It's already in the game if you turn on developer_script 1 and call the script that's in raw/maps, don't remember the name off the top of my head.

In your zone source:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

rawfile,braxi/_fxutil.gsc

Add this line in your mapname.gsc::main() function _before_ any wait().

Code Snippet

Plaintext

braxi\_fxutil::init_effects();

enable logfile, turn on developer and developer_script... you might have hard time if there are errors in your map

I didn't know that and I've coded this tool because built-in CoD4 code was broken

(Image removed from quote.)

logprint doesn't exist in waw, replace it with printLn.

Or try the WaW one with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_createfx::createfx();
