How can i play a fx on all players/zombies?

I need something like that:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

fxonzombs()
{
ai = GetAiArray( "axis" );
	for( i = 0; i < ai.size; i++ )
	{
		fx = spawn("script_model");
		fx setmodel("tag_origin");
		playfxontag( level._effect["fire"], fx, "tag_origin" );
	}
}

And now i need to link the fx to every zombie alive. I think i need to use linkto, but i don't know how.

you should be able to do it by changing the playFxOnTag to this and removing the other two lines

Code Snippet

Plaintext

playfxontag( level._effect["fire"], ai[i], "tag_origin" );

also the spawn function requires an origin as the second parameter so like this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

fx = spawn("script_model", (0,0,0));//will place the script_model at origin 0,0,0

or in your case like this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

fx = spawn("script_model", ai[i].origin);//will place the script model at the current origin of the ai

Fx linkto( ent_to_link_to, "tag_to_link_to" );

I think anyway, check zeroy or ugx script reference for the conditions between the ( )

Edit after last post ---

Dont play the fx on the ai if it's a "looping" fx or you won't be able to stop it - in this case you need a seperate model linked to them instead like you had in the example

And don't use tag origin or it'll be at the zombies feet

I used just this to add a fire fx to zombies, but I'm not sure if it works with players.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// self is the zombie here
while(1) {
    playfxOnTag( level._effect[ "explosive_trap_flames" ], self, "j_neck" );
    wait 8;
}

really? i thought the fx were supposed quit after the entity was deleted?

Quote

Fx linkto( "tag_to_link_to" );

and the parameters are actually like this, linkTo("entity_to_link_to", "tag_to_link_to"); along with two others for offsetting the linked entity from the tag position
