Hello please could anyone advise me?
I would like to manually deactivate certain effects on the map via trigger
but I do not know how :-(
Thank you very much in advance for any advice or help
Sincerely karelkopp

Hey karelkopp,

if i understood it right, you want to: if a player is touching a trigger it will disable some effects?

Thanks,
LiQ.HeaDShOt

yes

then you must type like this:
(sry im a beginner so, idk if this is correct but, i just want to help)

if (player.isTouching("trigger"))

This will check if the player is touching the trigger,
then (if he is) CoD4 will exec the code (like disabling the desired effects.)

Sry, i'm not sure about this and i dont want to mess up your map.

Thanks,

I think he wanted to know how to deactivate an FX, actually.
AFAIK, there isn't a command that will stop an FX.
However, somehow it must be done, because this happens in the game.
The best example is the destructible cars, where if you shoot a car long enough it will start burning. The flame FX will stop after the car explodes.
I've skimmed through the destructible car gscs but couldn't find anything. I'll keep looking and if I find something I will let you know.

Where you can play a oneshot fx with a time limit on the fx setup in the effects editor instead of a looping fx.

But simple and easiest way is to assign the fx to a script_origin and then delete the script_origin... boom fx gone.

Techno's idea:

Make a script_origin with K,V of "targetname" - "effect" and trigger with K,V of "targetname","effect". Also before this you have to make that FX's is played from that same script_origin, and

thread fx_trig();

}

fx_trig()
{

trig = getent ("fxtrig","targetname"); // or trig = getentarray ("fxtrig","targetname"); if you want more.
fx = getent ("effect","targetname");
trig waittill ("trigger");
fx delete();

}


This is an improvised script, you can edit it.
