Re: Effects showroom!

Ah, right! Great idea!

The live sun
ALE for sun Is based on giant anomaly

Giant Anomaly’s

step1

step 2

step 3

editing file Li01.ini
and paste

[Object]
nickname = Bw01_baxter_hazard_1
pos = 0, 0, 0
archetype = baxter_hazard
visit = 128

[zone]
nickname = Zone_Bw01_Baxter_hazard
pos = -8, 0, 1
shape = SPHERE
size = 300
damage = 200
visit = 128
sort = 99.500000

Please help

Unfortunately range effect of 7 km ,
It is necessary to fly up closely to the sun center
I don’t know as to increase visibility distance of ALE effects

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).

Giant anomaly is giant XD…looks nice btw.

Yeah, thats INSANELY_LARGE!!!

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.

Ammo with attached fx )

Neat effect. I like it!

indeed I thought immediately about a “Capture the Flag event where you can throw that flag away to your team mates D”

Here is for static object )

Sushi yep, funny effect
Huor CTF? It is idea, hmhmhmhm…

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

Wow! That’s totally badass Helloween!

How long does it last for?

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 )

permanent ???
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

:)

Awesome, might give it a try.

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

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