There is always the same muzzleflash (name in the odf data) at the end of the rifle

small_muzzle_flash or med_muzzle_flash

How can I change the effect i try it and change the effect there and ingame there was nothing than.

these lines define the flash: if they dont change anything something must have gone wrong

no I mean an other effect maybe a explosion and the end of the rifle when it fires.

Change this line

if i want to have a little explosion at the end of the rifle i should add this:


MuzzleFlash = "com_sfx_explosion_xs"

You know, I've always wondered: what exactly does that line reference? I've never found small_muzzle_flash.fx. I've found a msh, though, so does it reference a mesh?

I also just found a msh but i don't think it the right thing because you can change the muzzleflash to med and small and there is only one msh.

MuzzleFlash = "com_sfx_explosion_xs"

that doesn't work there was nothing

That's because MuzzleFlash can only reference three things:

-small_muzzle_flash
-med_muzzle_flash
-large_muzzle_flash

You're looking for MuzzleFlashEffect or MuzzleFlashModel.

(Fyi, MuzzleFlashEffect doesn't work properly.)

oh ok

can also vehicles have muzzleflashs?

So MuzzleFlashEffect references a specific mesh for the muzzleflash size (small, med or large) to use?

No.

MuzzleFlash can only reference three things: small/med/large

MuzzleFlashEffect can reference any specified .fx file

MuzzleFlashModel can reference any specified .msh file

Everything that can be said about this has largely been said. But I believe[/b] the answer is yes in regards to adding a muzzleflasheffect to a vehicle weapon. I know vehicle weapons don't have muzzleflash enabled. I haven't tried it yet, and I have yet to see any examples of muzzleflasheffect, but you are welcome to try it.

Here is a list of Weapon ODF parameters

If there is already a MuzzleFlashEffect, what does do?

Code: Select all

Discharge           	= "small_smoke_effect"

do?

I've tried changing that multiple times, but nothing changes/ or appears. I'm assuming it's broken code like decals.

is it possible to have two of these working at the same time?

Well, I think we've established that effects don't work....

well I think this topic can be locked.
