Where can I find this effect?

[G3nghis]

Im creating a race and was looking for some cool effects. There was one I remember that looked like a sphere made of orbs. I remember seeing it on someones server, and the other day I just so happened to go on hollidays server (first time and was amazed:) and I saw it there as well. Does any one know what effect Im talking about? Is it part of the est_effect package or is it a custom effect that comes with another race?

Also there was an effect on Holliday's server that is done when the game ends and switches map. Its the one where it looks like pieces of the ground are rising from the floor. Is that easy to implement? If not that is ok, it was just cool looking.

The sphere you'll find only on HOLLIDAY's server, nobody except for me and him can do it, this kind of effect is called Enviroment, about the second effect you mentioned is easy, use est_effect_14 or 15, but i can't show you the sprite now, i mean, i won't give you so easily since only me and him knows it too(HIDDEN SPRITE).
About the others guys of our forum: Don't come here saying shit for me since you don't even know how to do it, i'm not a secret-teller

Are you sure the sphere effect is only a secret to you two? I know I saw it on an old wcs server I used to play at. The skill involved placing the orb around the user, who would be in the air with godmode on, then he would swoop down and kill a random enemy. It was a knife race. Unless, whoever coded it was actually you, the effect would be easy to obtain right or were the coders just as smart as you guys?

[HOLLIDAY]

you mean something like one of these?
or something else?

Code: [Select]

         es est_effect_21 #a 0 models/effects/splodeglass.mdl server_var(wcs_tmp) 100 10


[Shidobu]

Lol nice effects holliday.

[G3nghis]

It was the last one. Possibly the first one? est_effect 21 is fizz effect and that causes the little orbs to spin around the sphere? Is models/effects/splodeglass.mdl the model that is used for the last pic you showed?
Thanks Holliday

[HOLLIDAY]

no, est_effect_21 is what i used for the end game effect
the sphere is more like this

Code: [Select]

  es_give event_var(userid) env_Smokestack
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "basespread 180"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "spreadspeed 0"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "speed 5"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "rate 800"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "startsize 11"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "endsize 3"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "twist 150"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "jetlength 166"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "angles 90 90 90"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "rendercolor 255 255 255"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "SmokeMaterial sun\overlay.vmt"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack turnon

 .....So if i understand this correctly, you are giving the sphere, called env_smokestack, to the player and building/creating it on the fly at the player location. And if the user moved around it would follow the user until I run the command  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack turnoff, which would im guessing turn it off. Is this correct or is there another command to make the sphere move? Thanks

The first orb is damn awsome, how do you get such ideas Holliday!?
It's an amazing effect, looks like it isn't even from counter-strike 

[HOLLIDAY]

this will make the effect follow the player

es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack setparent !activator

[Shidobu]

Im just wondering holliday but where did you learn about es_fire and how to use it?

  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "rendercolor 255 255 255"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack addoutput "SmokeMaterial sun\overlay.vmt"
  es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack turnon

Is this the code for the black sphere with the white dots? just wondering
Then I'm gonna put it on my server if you don't mind of cause?

Kind regards Dragonfly

[G3nghis]

ok final 2 questions about this effect. If i changed the command
es_fire event_var(userid) env_Smokestack setparent !activator
so that userid was someone else, would the sphere move from me to that person? (and this command would go after the turnon right?)

Also could I move the sphere from me to a coordinate X,Y,Z and if so would I just type

Code: [Select]

es_fire <position X Y Z> env_Smokestack setparent !activator
Thanks

:O, i used est_effect_14 with the splode glass sprite and worked fine xD
And no Genghis, this command is to Follow you. And there is also a wiki with a list of enviroments with their syntax
