FX help - a consististent object during entire fx

Post by **Teancum** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 12:10 pm

So here's the story - I've updated a bit of Zerted's code for adding jetpacks for the Xbox mod. Basically it adds a jetpack via GeometryAddon. Of course the issue lies in once you activate the jetpack the addon goes away (which is by design). So what I need is a generic effect inside the Rep Jetrooper FX that just sits there the whole time. Problem is it can't be a msh, because mshs crash Particle Editor. So I have to go back into the fx file afterward via Notepad and make that effect a msh. Can anyone help on this one? The only FX I've done is the FX for Durge's jetpack (which is just a reposition). I know the Geonosian wings are msh fx, I'm just lost as to how to get this all together

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I stink at FX

Here's an excerpt of my fx with a jetpack msh.

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]

								ParticleEmitter("JetpackMesh")

								{

									MaxParticles(-1.0000,-1.0000);

									StartDelay(0.0000,0.0000);

									BurstDelay(0.0100, 0.0100);

									BurstCount(1.0000,1.0000);

									MaxLodDist(50.0000);

									MinLodDist(10.0000);

									BoundingRadius(5.0);

									SoundName("")

									NoRegisterStep();

									Size(1.0000, 1.0000);

									Hue(255.0000, 255.0000);

									Saturation(255.0000, 255.0000);

									Value(255.0000, 255.0000);

									Alpha(255.0000, 255.0000);

									Spawner()

									{

										Offset()

										{

											PositionX(0.0000,0.0000);

											PositionY(0.0000,0.0000);

											PositionZ(0.0000,0.0000);

										}

										PositionScale(0.0000,0.0000);

										VelocityScale(0.0000,0.0000);

										InheritVelocityFactor(0.0000,0.0000);

										Size(0, 1.0000, 1.0000);

										Red(0, 225.5883, 225.5883);

										Green(0, 255.0000, 255.0000);

										Blue(0, 255.0000, 255.0000);

										Alpha(0, 255.0000, 255.0000);

										StartRotation(0, 0.0000, 0.0000);

										RotationVelocity(0, 0.0000, 0.0000);

										FadeInTime(0.0000);

									}

									Transformer()

									{

										LifeTime(0.0100);

										Position()

										{

											LifeTime(0.2500)

										}

										Size(0)

										{

											LifeTime(1.0000)

											Scale(1.0000);

										}

										Color(0)

										{

											LifeTime(0.1500)

										}

									}

									Geometry()

									{

										BlendMode("NORMAL");

										Type("GEOMETRY");

										Model("kin_skytrooper_pack_up");

									}

								}[/code]

The msh itself is lined up just like an addon msh jetpack would be of course.

AceMastermind posted instructions to get a msh working in PE somewhere. You have to put the munged model files in a munged folder wherever PE is.
