My Electric Cherry script is fully functional except for one thing: the spark emitted from the weapon does not show up. Here is the script, and as always, thanks in advance!
Code Snippet
Plaintext#include maps\_anim;
#include maps\_utility;
#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_music;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;
main()
{
level._effect["cherry_burst"] = loadfx("misc/zombie_elec_trail_oneshot");
flag_wait("all_players_connected");
wait(1);
players = get_players();
for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
{
players[i] thread cherry_effect();
players[i] thread cherry_down();
}
}
cherry_effect()
{
while(1)
{
self waittill( "reload_start" );
if( self HasPerk("specialty_boost"))
{
cherry_weapon = self GetCurrentWeapon();
ammo_left = self GetWeaponAmmoClip( cherry_weapon );
clip_size = WeaponClipSize( cherry_weapon );
ratio = ammo_left / clip_size;
damage = 1200 - (ratio * 1200);
iprintln( damage );
PlayFxOnTag(level._effect[ "cherry_burst" ], cherry_weapon, "tag_clip");
touching_check = spawn("trigger_radius",self.origin,1,200,200);
zombies = getaispeciesarray("axis","all");
for(j = 0; j < zombies.size; j++)
{
if(zombies[j] IsTouching( touching_check ))
{
zombies[j] maps\_zombiemode_tesla::tesla_play_death_fx( 1 );
zombies[j] SetFlashBanged( true, 1 );
}
else
{
continue;
}
}
touching_check delete();
SetPlayerIgnoreRadiusDamage( true );
RadiusDamage( self.origin, 200, damage, 50, self );
wait(5);
}
else
{
}
}
}
cherry_down()
{
while(1)
{
if(self HasPerk("specialty_boost"))
{
self waittill_any( "fake_death", "death", "player_downed" );
touching_check = spawn("trigger_radius",self.origin,1,200,200);
zombies = getaispeciesarray("axis","all");
for(j = 0; j < zombies.size; j++)
{
if(zombies[j] IsTouching( touching_check ))
{
zombies[j] maps\_zombiemode_tesla::tesla_play_death_fx( 1 );
zombies[j] SetFlashBanged( true, 1 );
}
else
{
continue;
}
}
touching_check delete();
SetPlayerIgnoreRadiusDamage( true );
RadiusDamage( self.origin, 150, 1200, 50, self );
self UnSetPerk("specialty_boost");
}
else
{
wait(0.05);
continue;
}
}
}

cherry_weapon contains a string with the name of the weapon, which is not an entity, so you cannot play an FX off of it.

i think you could spawn a tag_origin and link that tag origin to the clip and play the fx there then delete?

Thing is, you cannot access the first-person weapon model joints from the player entity in GSC, afaik.

tag_weapon_right might be useful.

So I would replace:
Code Snippet
Plaintext PlayFxOnTag(level._effect[ "cherry_burst" ], cherry_weapon, "tag_clip"); Code Snippet
Plaintext PlayFxOnTag(level._effect[ "cherry_burst" ], self, "tag_weapon_right");- Post Options

It is in zone_source/english/assetinfo/mapname.csv. Is that okay or should it be included elsewhere?

Just suggesting another way that might be easier for you.. Although you can not access the viewmodel from server script you can access it from clientscript. A function in the wunderwaffe client script called:
It's used to play an FX on a tag within the viewmodel. Should work just the same.
Code Snippet
PlaintextPlayViewmodelFx( <localclientnum>, <FX>, <tag> )It's used to play an FX on a tag within the viewmodel. Should work just the same.
