[GUIDE] Finding Effects for NPCs and Explanation of 3DEffect.ini

[cruey]

Okay so when your making your NPC or changing an NPC under npc.ini you can give them effects by changing their Effect=(effect ID). In this guide youll learn how to find the effect IDs and then change it in the npc.ini

To find the effect IDs you just open 3DEffect.ini and youll see something like this (heres an explanation of entries for this ini file):

[pet67] [B]<--- EFFECT ID NAME[/B]
Amount=2
EffectId0=3351
TextureId0=3351
ASB0=5
ADB0=2
EffectId1=3352
TextureId1=3352
ASB1=5
ADB1=2
Delay=0
LoopTime=1 [B]<--- SET TO 999 FOR UNLIMITED LOOP[/B]
FrameInterval=33 [B]<--- SPEED OF EFFECT (less = faster, more = slower)[/B]
LoopInterval=0
OffsetX=0 [B]<--- POSITION OF EFFECT ON SCREEN[/B]
OffsetY=0 [B]<--- POSITION OF EFFECT ON SCREEN[/B]
OffsetZ=0 [B]<--- POSITION OF EFFECT ON SCREEN[/B]

The stuff I havent pointed out are things you dont need to change. Okay so once youve found an effect, you can add it to an NPC by copying the effect and pasting it on your npc on the effect entry.

Have fun adding effects! And to test them out in the game use the command /addeffect (effectID)

You have to realize the IDs you use for your pets and other things etc, will be different to the ones EO uses. Think logically and examine the different patches which you say effects being attached to monsters/pets/models etc and discover how to do it.
