So this is the issue I'm having in my map atm

I have this script for a new ee step. It's supposed to spawn 3 models around the map with a glow fx:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

tesla_coils()
{
	level.teslas_picked = 0;
	coil1_trig = getEnt("tesla_coil1","targetname");
	coil2_trig = getEnt("tesla_coil2","targetname");
	coil3_trig = getEnt("tesla_coil3","targetname");
	thread item_pickup(coil1_trig);
	thread item_pickup(coil2_trig);
	thread item_pickup(coil3_trig);
}

item_pickup(trigger)
{
	user = undefined;
	trigger _setHintString("");
	trigger SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
	flag_wait("upgraded_magic");

		trigger _setHintString("Press and Hold &&1 to Pick Up Item");
		trigger SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
		model = Spawn( "script_model", trigger.origin );
		model setmodel( "zombie_zapper_tesla_coil" );
		playfxontag (level._effect["powerup_on"], model, "tag_origin");
 
		trigger waittill("trigger", user);
		trigger delete();
		user playsound("powerup_grabbed");
		model delete();
		level.teslas_picked = level.teslas_picked + 1;
		thread upgrade_ready();		
}

The problem is that the model and fx doesn't spawn. The hintstrings work great and it let's me hit the trigger with no problem. Is there something I'm missing from this script?

Thanks in advance!

You need to precache models prior to zombiemode::main

And need to load the fx and check its in mod.csv or some other csv used in your map/mod

Use serous script reference, and treyarchs zombiemode_perks.gsc for examples

It was the model not being precached. Tested with a precached model and worked great!

Thanks for your help!

need to load the fx in the same place - unless it's already working which means it's already being loaded some where ( prob in dlc3_code.gsc )

Fx is working as well. It's just the basic powerup fx which is already loaded in Treyarch base scripts

Cool

That's loaded in one of the other gscs

Just for reference

Variable = loadfx( "path_to_fx/fxname" );

Just incase you ever use a fx that isn't already loaded

Yeah, always had issues when trying to add fx in to the map (other than constantly looping fx). Usually the reason being that fx weren't loaded correctly or at all.

Now I know that needs to be done to models as well.
