Cheers. It's really just a matter of making a hill with effects and a damageregion.

thx, unfortuneatly what i wanted to find out was how to attach the effects to the terrain.

also does anybody know when the search is gonna be fixed?

All you need to do is stick an object in there to which you can attach effects, and sink the object below the terrain. Objects (which are invisible) like kas2_prop_splash (or something like that) have multiple hardpoints to attach to and work well.

if you still need it

"AttachEffectToMatrix(lua_State* aState);"

This is a LUA function from the SS list I'm not sure but I think a matrix is a terrain grid location. Might want to mess around with it; AttachEffectToMatrix(EffectName, ALocation). If you can't get it to work by typing in locations directly, try this:

local locDest = GetPathPoint(PathName), and then AttachEffectToMatrix(EffectName, locDest)

This was you could try spawning effects on a path, so to speak. I salvaged some of the code from the Teleport thread.
