Attach effects using HardPoints [Solved]

Ok, so I saw the "How to add Effects without HardPoints" link in the FAQ Thread, but, just out of interest, how do you attach the effect
with a HardPoint? Would it be something like:
Code: Select all
AttachEffect(smoke_billow)
AttachHardPoint(DummyRoot)
I'm not that good at C++ or the other code SWBF2 was made in, so thats probably wrong (C# for me
). Thanks.

Okay weird.. I added nulls in the model (xsi), exported (full xsi) and then used these lines in the odf, PLUS i added the effect (torchflame.fx) to ...\effects Still, no single effect ingame! I thought this was on-topic
Odf:
Code: Select all
[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "prop"
GeometryName = "muu_bldg_underground.msh"
[Properties]
GeometryName = "muu_bldg_underground"
FoleyFXGroup = "stone_foley"
AttachEffect = "torchflame" //the actual effect: the flame
SoundProperty = "com_amb_fire_large" //nice fire sounds.. works?
//all the hardpoints of the tunnel below.. Man that was hell of a work! - MandeRek
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame1"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame2"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame3"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame4"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame5"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame6"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame7"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame8"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame9"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame10"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame11"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame12"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame13"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame14"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame15"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame16"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame17"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame18"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame19"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame20"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame21"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame22"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame23"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame24"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame25"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame26"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame27"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame28"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame29"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame30"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame31"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame32"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame33"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame34"

I bet you have one effect showing up but nothing else. You need to set up your .odf like this:
Code: Select all
SoundProperty = "com_amb_fire_large" //nice fire sounds.. works?
//all the hardpoints of the tunnel below.. Man that was hell of a work! - MandeRek
AttachEffect = "torchflame" //the actual effect: the flame
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame1"
AttachEffect = "torchflame" //the actual effect: the flame
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame2"
AttachEffect = "torchflame" //the actual effect: the flame
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_flame3"
New AttachEffect for each hardpoint, here's a reference of mine:
Code: Select all
[Properties]
GeometryName = "uwzapper"
AttachEffect = "elec1"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_e1"
AttachEffect = "elec2"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_e2_1"
AttachEffect = "elec2"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_e2_2"
AttachEffect = "elec3"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_e3_1"
AttachEffect = "elec3"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_e3_2"
BuildingSound = "force_field_on"
FoleyFXGroup = "metal_foley"

Actually his way will work just tried it, it may be something in the way he set up his hp's (he showed me the error he was getting) that and the fact if forgot to send him the tga files
but he should have had white squares at least.
on a side note: don't put them close together as I did in the test it gets very loud with the soundeffect for 4 flames in close proximity
