VFX + Items

[Seraph]

Hi again. I just made a Virtual Effect that simulates a gun shot, and I was wondering how I tie it to a Weapon (gun) that I created. It's just a regular weapon item, and I want it to use the Gun effect I created, when used in battle (like how the preset sword data displays a sword swinging through the air when used).

Any idea how I can do this?

Thanks.

Re: VFX + Items

First, play Hippy Hunt 2. There are several VFX weapons in that game (the rocket launcher is the best).

Next, learn to use the VFX editor. Look at weapons like the sword and the arrow and see how they were done. Note that the VFX should be Marked at the point that the enemy is hit so that the VFX lines up with the enemies reaction.

Have fun with it.

Re: VFX + Items

VFX(Visual Effects) are tied to weapons through Direct Effects.
First make a script to display your gun effect. Then create an event
for the script. In the direct effects editor, place this event in the
directing tab under target and fail. Now attach the direct effect to
your gun item.

I actually figured it out a few days ago, but thanks anyway.
