Hey! Glad it's working now!
What was it, the case sensitive??

When FX start disappearing it's most likely because you have too many in the map, or too many the player can see at that particular moment. Basically, too many "player-radius visible" effects. Why is it happening? You might have some other error that stems from it, no idea.

Just leave it fixed. It isn't a big deal, nobody is right or wrong here, just do it the way it works on your end. If it works for you, then do it your way.

WowW Finally....

Well, somehow i'm glad too



I wouldn't say any better Deek..

I'll drink for that

Greets to all of You

why ask for his code? Post your own. Its the only way we can see what you've done wrong.

hi i did post my own code in an other toptic.
but because i got the same prob i thought it might alsow be helpfull for me if he could post his code!

thats where it is
would be great if anybody could help!
thx simon

Probably could of caused the issue's with his code would of been:
if you look in the ( brackets code )
you will see some dont match.. Eg: ( "misc/water_level_edge" ) has a space before and after the " then in the actual createfx folder file.. he has the same code ("misc/water_level_edge") BUT with no spaces?//,,,,
that would be the only thing i can see wrong with the code...
just remember that the code is sensative.. when placing it in if you add a space at ( then add " make sure it is the same in createfx file... otherwise they dont corrispond hence will not show them running...

sorry only got back onto mapping a couple days ago if i would of seen this i would of posted earlier..
BUT to me that was the issue's with this fella's FX.....

level._effect[ "water_level_edge" ] = loadfx( "misc/water_level_edge" );
level._effect[ "car_damage_blacksmoke" ] = loadfx( "smoke/car_damage_blacksmoke" );
level._effect[ "snow" ] = loadfx( "snow_damo" );

/#
if ( getdvar( "clientSideEffects" ) != "1" )
maps\createfx\mp_snow_fx::main();
#/
}

mp_snow_fx (in maps/createfx)

main()
{
ent = maps\mp\_utility::createLoopEffect("water_level_edge" );
ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( -952, 8, -1032 );
ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 0, 2.50448, 0 );
ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "water_level_edge";
ent.v[ "delay" ] = -15;

ent = maps\mp\_utility::createLoopEffect("car_damage_blacksmoke" );
ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( -736, 944, -944 );
ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 0, 0, 0 );
ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "car_damage_blacksmoke";
ent.v[ "delay" ] = -15;

ent = maps\mp\_utility::createOneshotEffect( "snow" );
ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( 0, 0, -1232 );
ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 270, 0, 0 );
ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "snow";
ent.v[ "delay" ] = -15;
}

thanks for ur help!
i had a 2nd look at my script and now no errors show up in the console anymore!
the fx dont show up though!
somewhere here it said something of "fixing up angles" how do i do that? what do angles actually do?
my code:

//_createfx generated. Do not touch!!
main()
{

	ent = maps\mp\_utility::createOneshotEffect( "fire/fire_barrel_fragm_a" );
	ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( 0.1, 0.1, 0.1 );
	ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 10, 10, 10 );
	ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "fire_barrel_fragm_a";
	ent.v[ "delay" ] = 0.5;

	ent = maps\mp\_utility::createOneshotEffect( "smoke/car_damage_blacksmoke" );
	ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( 0.2, 0.2, 0.2 );
	ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 0.2, 0.2, 0.2 );
	ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "car_damage_blacksmoke";
	ent.v[ "delay" ] = 0.5;


}

and

main()
{

level._effect[ "fire_barrel_fragm_a" ] = loadfx ( "fire/fire_barrel_fragm_a" );
level._effect[ "car_damage_blacksmoke" ] = loadfx ( "smoke/car_damage_blacksmoke" );

/#

if (getdvar("clientSideEffects") != "1")
maps\createfx\mp_fx_test_fx::main();
#/

}

i hope someone can still help me!

ha! it actually works!
there is only one problem:
it only plays the effects once. so i thought i'd just use Loopeffect insted of oneshot but then the console says that it doesnt expect a loopeffect and that i should use oneshot.
so i opened the effects in the fx editor and changed them from oneshot to loop and put loop count to 0 it works fine with the smoke but not with the fire.
what shall i do?
thanks for helping!

You probably only changed the settings for the smoke FX. Somewhere at the bottom of FXEd is a list with all the effects that are loaded into the main efx. You'll need to change the values for each one.
