MDL attach an FX effect??

[noshades]

Hi Arno..Is there a way to attach an effect to an mdl object? I see something about it in the Makemdl doc ,,but it seems to be for xml..

is this a custom made object or default libary object...and if custom, what tool did u create and what kind of effect.

I was thinking custom made with fsds v3 ..it exports x file,bgl,mdl,xml..was wondering if an effect could be imported into Ez-scenery..I doubt it..it needs mdl.. but an x file or asm file can be hand edited (to attach an effect??) I wonder..seems only xml can do that..this will probably be a short thread

i know its possible in gmax but really not sure how fsds works and what i hear its pretty different setup then gmax

In GMax it is indeed possible with the attachtool script. All this script does is add some code so that MakeMDL knows what to add, but I am not sure if FSDS3 has similar functionality already.

Ok thanks arno and all..I used Gmax and got it don..works ok in EZ scenery but you can not see it as you place it though..but after a rebOOt you can..much easier adding than SP effects sdk

One other warning, excludes active in the same area do also remove attached effects. So it does not always work as intended.

That is why I usually do not attach them, but place them with their own bit of XML code (in that case they are not excluded).
