Title: Zapper FX not showing up
Post by: A-Grand on October 28, 2014, 08:31:59 am

hi

I have a trap in my map that works and everything, but it does not show the FX...

look at the handle, and the light changes color when it's on...

It does kill players and zombies...

Only the FX not showing up...
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?  ???

Thx

You might have commented out the FX from zone_source or you dont have the FX at all

I think one shot is an electric spark, isn't it? I'm not at my pc but I thought it was this one: misc/fx_zombie_electric_trap

Looks like this in dlc3_code.gsc

level._effect["zapper"]					= loadfx("misc/fx_zombie_electric_trap");

If that isn't the issue, there was an issue with the standard script before. I'm not sure which you are using. You can see here in an old post:

Unfortunately the links are all broken.

I have that line in my dlc3_code.gsc and also have those FX lines in zone_source.
still have no idea why it's not showing up :(

I'll try some things, thank you both.

do the script you're using sets the angle something like this?

zapperfx_origin.angles = (-90,0,0);

i dont remember if it was correct like that but you need that -90 for it to be vertical(cause in my case it was underground lol) also theres one zapper fx which doesnt play, but i dont remember well. if you need more help ill look into my files  :)

I finally managed to get it to work.

 
self.tag_origin setmodel("tag_origin");
playfxontag(level._effect["zapper"],self.tag_origin,"tag_origin");

these two lines were commented out. I simply removed "//" and now it works in the game.
Also, instead of using a script_struct (which is linked to the trap trigger) in radiant, I used script_origin.

Please do. This might help with the FX being off few grids in the game.
Thanks :)

ah so it wasnt not loaded, it was the call to the FX that was commented out

So the engine loaded it, but nothing called for it to display

Glad it worked out for ya ;)
