Re: Effects showroom!

[Gisteron]

basically, in the ale itself there is a LOD curve that affects the maximal view distance.
however, constants are set in the .\data\fx\effect_types.ini with the pbubble parameter. as there are already high-range effect types, you can just change your effect type in the effects.ini file. for instance EFT_EQUIP_ATTACHED_INSANELY_LARGE has a pbubble large enough for most star systems in FL (there is nothing stopping you from increasing it however).

Simply adjust the pbubble on the fx u want to see from a farther distance, posted it earlier but the site seemed to be under attack and it lost my post.

Neat effect. I like it!

Huor CTF? It is idea, hmhmhmhm…

[A Former User]

Ah, and napalm-gun or leech-gun idea too (effect must “eat” hull

[Bobthemanofsteel]

Wow! That’s totally badass Helloween!

How long does it last for?

[Quarks]

How did you do that? Via the hit effect of the gun or via the hit effects of the ship/base?

not checked but i think permanent like any attachedfx )

[Ezekiel]

So you can make it flashy pink and call it “the Newby Marker Gun”
Anyway, it’s a cool stuff^^

Via```
munition_hit_effect = <attachedfx particles=“” from=“” select_equip.ini=“”></attachedfx>

In my case it is

munition_hit_effect = gf_blhazard_01

:)

[Bobthemanofsteel]

Awesome, might give it a try.

Would there be any way of making it stop after a certain time?

[A Former User]

Did not tried, but it stops after killing parent object )

[FriendlyFire]

The lifetime is defined in the ALE itself. It has nothing to do with it being an AttachedFX, it’s just that the ALE goes on forever and the EffectType you’re using does not have a maximum run length.
