Hi guys!

I got quite a few fx in my map, is there a limit as to how many you can have, because i've just tried to add another one and it won't work,

my fx.gsc

n#include maps\mp\_utility;


main()
{
        precacheFX();
        spawnFX();
}

precacheFX()
{
        level._effect["mp_fire_medium"] = loadfx("maps/mp_maps/fx_mp_fire_medium");
        level._effect["mp_fog_rolling_thick_small_area"] = loadfx("maps/mp_maps/fx_mp_fog_rolling_thick_small_area");
        level._effect["mp_insects_swarm"] = loadfx("maps/mp_maps/fx_mp_insect_swarm");
        level._effect["mp_smoke_brush_smolder_sm"] = loadfx("maps/mp_maps/fx_mp_smoke_brush_smolder_sm");
        level._effect["mp_water_fall_sm"] = loadfx("maps/mp_maps/fx_mp_water_fall_sm");
        level._effect["mp_water_fall_puddle_splash"] = loadfx("maps/mp_maps/fx_mp_water_fall_puddle_splash");
        level._effect["mp_water_wake_flow"] = loadfx("maps/mp_maps/fx_mp_water_wake_flow");
     
        level._effect["mp_smoke_plume_slow_lg_slow_def"] = loadfx("maps/mp_maps/fx_mp_smoke_column_tall");
}

spawnFX()

I used a script origin to get the co-ords just like i did with all the others but the bottom one won't work.

Thanx Ian.

Yep there's a limit. Also when mods are added they increase the fx. Not totally sure but vehicles add too fx too and should be considered plus any mods for testing.

Hi Ian, you could prove this one way or another if you simply removed one or two of your existing fx's temporarily and then see if the new one works.

That would give you a deffinite answer maybe.

If you exceeded the FX limit, the game would crash and you would get an error:

"Exceeded 400Fxs assets"

So, I doubt youve exceeded the limit.

Did you add the fx to your zone source?

The line at the bottom says "mp_mp_"

Should it only be "mp_" ?


Pretty sure that's your problem

And the first line is:

n#include maps\mp\_utility;

when it should be:

#include maps\mp\_utility;


Be very careful when updating your scripts, it pays to spend the time to double and triple check them.
