Creates an effect on specified position.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: Not all effects support rotation (e.g. the "fire" - effect doesn't).
[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: All effects have their own duration.

Syntax

effect createEffect ( string name, float x, float y, float z [, float rX, float rY, float rZ, float drawDistance = 0, bool soundEnable = false ] )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: Effect(...)


Required Arguments

  • name: A string contains effect name.
  • x: A floating point number representing the X coordinate on the map.
  • y: A floating point number representing the Y coordinate on the map.
  • z: A floating point number representing the Z coordinate on the map.

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

  • rX: A floating point number representing the rotation about the X axis in degrees.
  • rY: A floating point number representing the rotation about the Y axis in degrees.
  • rZ: A floating point number representing the rotation about the Z axis in degrees.
  • drawDistance: A floating point number between 1 and 8191 which represents the draw distance of the effect, or 0 to use the default draw distance.
  • soundEnable: to enable the sound of the effect.

Returns

Returns the effect element if creation was successful, false otherwise.

Example

-- There are 82 effects

local effectNames = {
	"blood_heli", "boat_prop", "camflash", "carwashspray", "cement", "cloudfast", "coke_puff", "coke_trail", "cigarette_smoke",

}

function createEff(_, effectID)
	effectID = tonumber(effectID)

	if effectID then
		local validID = effectID > 0 and effectID <= #effectNames

		if validID then
			local effectName = effectNames[effectID]
			local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition(localPlayer)

			createEffect(effectName, playerX, playerY, playerZ, 0, 0, 0)
		end
	end
end
addCommandHandler("effect", createEff)

-- Example: /effect 3
