Well, i never thought i'd ask something like this, but why doesn't this REALLY basic spawn script work?
The thread:
Code: Select all
flashstick local.flashORIGIN:
// for dev purposes, makes a corona at places to indicate visually that something has happened, or is happening.
spawn fx/corona_red.tik "$targetname" "flashstick" "origin" "local.flashORIGIN"
wait 10
if(isalive $flashstick)
{$flashstick remove}
end
the call to it
and it just spawns it at 0 0 0... it spawns it fine but it spawns at the wrong coords, in console it says it was spawned as an Objectt entity, i don't know what else i could have done :S
i woulkd have liked a small flare but this was as good as i could do with normal fx

Remove the quotation marks from local.flashORIGIN.

Here is how I did it for the rockets in "test_pointer".
level.coron3 = spawn script_model model "fx/corona_red.tik" scale ".25"
level.coron3.origin = $r1_launch.origin + ( -4 0 0 )
level.fire1 = spawn script_model model "static/corona_orange.tik" scale "2.0"
level.fire1.targetname = "fire1"
level.fire1.origin = $rocket1.origin + ( 0 0 -8 )
$fire1 bind $rocket1
$rocket1 playsound steam_snd
$rocket1 light 1 .8 .6 300
The small red corrona is for the button that launches the rocket. The orange one is for the tail of the rocket as it takes off. The rocket also lights up the ground as it goes, using a dynamic light (last line).
Notice how the origins can be adjusted using + ( x y z ) numbers.
