make it like this :

Code Snippet

Plaintext

preCacheMyFX()
{
level._effect["weapon_glow"]		= loadfx("weapon_glow");    [color=red] //this line had the error[/color]
}


main()
{
	level.DLC3 = spawnStruct(); // Leave This Line Or Else It Breaks Everything
 
	// Must Change These To Your Maps
	level.DLC3.createArt = maps\createart\nazi_zombie_undead_town_art::main;
	level.DLC3.createFX = maps\createfx\nazi_zombie_undead_town_fx::main;
	level.DLC3.myFX = ::preCacheMyFX;
 
}

ok thanks will do

nono, i just took the top 16 lines of my mapname.gsc, just to show u where it should be. thats only the top of my main() function itself.

Also if not there already, put it at the bottom of mapname.gsc

Code Snippet

Plaintext

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

Here's the fix I did for Rambo;

mapname.gsc
Above main() function name

Code Snippet

Plaintext

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

After zombiemode::main

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	weapon_glows = GetEntArray( "weapon_upgrade", "targetname" );
	array_thread(weapon_glows,::glow_weapons);

Example of what it should look like:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

/*--------------------
	 ZOMBIE MODE
	----------------------*/
	[[level.DLC3.weapons]]();
	[[level.DLC3.powerUps]]();
	maps\_zombiemode::main();
	/*--------------------
	 Weapon Glow
	----------------------*/
	weapon_glows = GetEntArray( "weapon_upgrade", "targetname" );
	array_thread(weapon_glows,::glow_weapons);

And After;

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	/*--------------------
	 FUNCTION CALLS - POST _Load
	----------------------*/
	level.zone_manager_init_func = ::dlc3_zone_init;
	level thread DLC3_threadCalls2();
}

Add:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

glow_weapons()
{
	self.tag_origin = spawn("script_model",self.origin);
	self.tag_origin setmodel("tag_origin");
	playfxontag(level._effect["weapon_glow"],self.tag_origin,"tag_origin");
}

Example script (But don't copy and replace, just for reference);

>Download example mapname<

Hope this will help avoid the confusion.

An example of why dropbox isn't a good choice as an upload host. Once you get too much traffic they delete the link.

@Bamskater if you could upload to mediafire or somewhere else that will keep your link that would be nice, thanks.
