Need an FX name


Relentless

 

Posted

Could someone tell me the name of the FX where it looks like lightning is coming down from the heavens? I saw a couple of fan videos with it and in one Statesman has this power but don't know if it is his real power or not. Any clues? I have seen it referred to as "Zeus Lightning" but, again, I don't know the name of it to find it. I would be using it thru the Demo Editor. Thanks.

I can't say for sure since I don't have the capability to check it at this very moment, but I believe this may be the FX entry you're looking for:

<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>POWERS/ELECTRICITYCONTROL/STATESMAN_HAMMER.FX</pre><hr />

It was used in conjunction with this MOV entry in the demo I'm looking at:

<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>1HSLAM</pre><hr />

Hope this helps .

Relentless, Thanks...I thought that could be it, too and the FX on the hand and the ground is working in my demo but there is no lightning coming down? This is the video I saw it in, at :30 seconds.
Perhaps I am leaving out something.

Statesman hammer?

Well if that isn't just a big ol' fistful of argh....

hmm, I don't see any extra fx entries near that one, or any new NPC entries, and it doesn't appear to be specific thing for Statesman either... well you sure have me scratching my head here. Of course it would help if the demos I had were someplace other than in the RSF, there's just a ton of stuff to look through. Really sorry I couldn't be of more help here, but I'm sure someone here has it figured out .

On a sidenote, thanks for the 3 minute distraction, it's one of my favorites .

I think they're combining multiple FXs in that one &amp; the Statesman Hammer is only half of it. As for the other half...

How do you feel about the color red?

I've been wondering if I had that one they use in Dies Irae, but hadn't taken the time to look. I *think* it is a version of lightning rod, but not one I have (at least not one that's jumping out at me). Here is the red (Brute) one:

POWERS/ELECTRICITYCONTROL/RED_LIGHTNINGRODCAST.FX (OneShot)

If that's not close enough, you could also e-mail Aral (maker of Dies Irae) at aral.cox@gmail.com (that's the e-mail from their web site).

Thanks, Scuzzbopper, the lightning rod is definitely the FX! Since I don't have another color, I'll try to change the color out. YAY! I got my lightning I wanted.... You rock

It seems I was barking up the wrong tree with that first animation, that's a totally different power he uses. I noticed in Dies arae, ol' Statesy-poo looks up at his fist when he uses that power, but in the 1HSLAM animation, he doesn't do that . Anyhoo, I found the animation and FX you're looking for .

Animation: ZEUS_LIGHTNING
FX (oneshot):
POWERS/ELECTRICITYCONTROL/STATESMAN_LIGHTNINGSTORM.FX 0
