The FX looks really weak but none the less good tutorial.

did you compile map and mod?

did you modify the nazi_zombie_mapname.gsc currently in use?

did you tick the box with the effect?

Go to launcher efects editor open the fx and edit the size and/or color

I hope it helped you

Edit: This looks awesome, i made it brighter and turned it into an oriented sprite, with a bit of light.

It didn't work at first, but I fixed it.

in mapname.gsc

find

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.DLC3.myFX = ::preCacheMyFX;

remove the // from the beginning of that line. (may already be done)

now find preCacheMyFX()

and add

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level._effect["weapon_glow"]		= loadfx("weapon_glow");

so it looks like this (yours may have extra effects, just ignore them)

Code Snippet

Plaintext

preCacheMyFX()
{
	level._effect["weapon_glow"]		= loadfx("weapon_glow");
}

it should be around line 16, as the beginning of my mapname.gsc looks like

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include common_scripts\utility; 
#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility; 
#include maps\_zombiemode_zone_manager; 
#include maps\_music;

	// Must Change These To Your Maps
	level.DLC3.createArt = maps\createart\ugxm_proboxmap_art::main;
	level.DLC3.createFX = maps\createfx\ugxm_proboxmap_fx::main;
	level.DLC3.myFX = ::preCacheMyFX; // LINE 16 ----------------------------

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

}

Edited to make more sense

Edited again to have it use array_thread for sorting weapon glows instead of a for flow control.

Where is the rest of your main() function gone?

Also I've re-re-edited the code and removed the unneeded for flow control.

Rambo, pm me your mapname.gsc script and I'll fix it up for you.
