FX Tutorial in Scripting

1.-Open your map and create script_structs where you want the fx to appear.
Now add these kvps:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

targetname        fx_struct
script_noteworthy    NAME_CACHE_FX

NAME_CACHE_FX: It is the name of your loaded FX.

2.-Open your zombie_mapname.gsc and below
under of:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

main ()
{

Add your fx like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level._effect["NAME_CACHE_FX"]            = loadfx( "LOCATION_FX" );

Examples:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level._effect["fx_mp_smoke_thick_indoor"] = loadfx("maps/zombie/fx_mp_smoke_thick_indoor");
level._effect["fx_mp_smoke_amb_indoor_misty"] = loadfx("maps/zombie/fx_zombie_theater_smoke_amb_indoor");

In your zombie_mapname_fx.gsc file there are some fx loaded, if you want to use one of them it is no longer necessary to add it.
you have to look for this line:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_zombiemode::main();

under it add this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

fx_struct = getstructarray( "fx_struct", "targetname" );
    array_thread(fx_struct_think, ::fx_struct_think);

at the end of the .gsc add this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

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

3.-In your mod.csv add the fx you used:
Example:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

fx,maps\zombie\fx_mp_smoke_thick_indoor
fx,maps\zombie\fx_zombie_theater_smoke_amb_indoor
