[SOLVED] Add the exploding barrel effect

[NearHuscarl]

Can you add a fifth parameter in IGame.SpawnProjectile() to show the explode effect when the bullet is out of the barrel?

Can you add the exploding barrel effect when bullet is going out of the barrel?

[Mr Argon]

You actually can use Game.PlayEffect() to achieve that. Search the ScriptAPI for effect names and parameters.

I'd looked into EffectNames before I posted this. Unless I missed something, there is no way to do that.

Try to create the effect by using the string "MZLED" which REQUIRES args[0] to be an int. Just send in 0.

[NearHuscarl]

Code: Select all

Game.PlayEffect("MZLED", Vector2.Zero, 0);
 

Showed nothing. Log said failed to create effect. I assume the arg[0] is the UniqueID of an IObject but changing it to the id of a nearby object still didn't work.

Try checking in the script of "Operation Sunrise" un "The Courtyard" part, there are some flak cannons that use this code. Just copypaste an tweak it, it should work that way.

Thank you! I didn't know that, it works perfectly now. Gurt should update the EffectNames btw because I didn't see it

Code: Select all

// Second argument Position is useless
// arg[0] is IObject's Unique ID. the argument will be spawned at IObject.GetWorldPosition()
// arg[1] is the weapon muzzle. So far I found
// "MuzzleFlashAssaultRifle" - AssaultRifle
// "MuzzleFlashL" - M60
// "MuzzleFlashM" - MP50, Pistol, Pistol45
// "MuzzleFlashS" - Cabine, Flare Gun, Grenade Launcher, Magnum, Revolver, Sniper
// "MuzzleFlashBazooka" - Bazooka
// "MuzzleFlashShotgun" - Dark Shotgun, Pump Shotgun
Game.PlayEffect("MZLED", Vector2.Zero, m_tip.UniqueID, "MuzzleFlashAssaultRifle");
