The nano effect itself? You can change the color and the image used. But changing the image does no good because the image won't align itself correctly.
Long story short, use cegs.

CA uses lups for that effect, though you could emit-sfx a weapon, ala kernel panic.

Check Kernel Panic, all the builder and factories of the System faction (units: Assembler, Kernel, Socket) use laser instead of nano effect.

i'm watching kernel panic.
This units, for example "assembler", have a weapon "build laser". But how i can show this laser?
in .cob i found only the "emit fx" string for show the flare.
is there other script i need to show the laser??

Emit sfx with certain high number as parameter may have been used to fire the laser weapon from the flare piece.

I'm mistaking something but i don't know what!!
in the FBI of the constructor i added this lines:
Code: Select all
Weapon1=BuildLaser;
ShowNanoSpray=0;
SelfDestructCountdown=1;
DamageModifier=0.000001;
[SFXTypes]
{
explosiongenerator0=custom:oldskool_shot1;
}
As the "assembler" unit of kernel panic.
I added weapon and explosion generator files.
I modified the script file .cob adding this line:
Code: Select all
StartBuilding(Func_Var_1)
{
Static_Var_1 = Func_Var_1;
start-script RequestState(0);
while( TRUE )
{
emit-sfx 2048 from beam;
sleep 60;
}
}
Result is: when constructor is building a unit, I see only the flare, not the laser line.
What i wrong?

The beamtime of the laser has to be less than a frame (0.03 or so)

In the mod you are working on, it may not have the laser graphic. There will be a field marked 'texture1 = [[string]],' or something similiar. That string must exist in your /gamedata/resources.*, and then the graphic it refers to must exist in your /bitmaps.

ok i understood,
I checked and i copied (for test ) needed .tga files from KP to my mod and i linked them into the "resources.tdf" file by adding these strings:
Code: Select all
circle=whitecircle.tga;
squarehollow=hollowsquare.tga;
but i see only flare now from the nano piece, but not the laser.
So, i have:
-added this to .cob of unit:
Code: Select all
StartBuilding(Func_Var_1)
{
Static_Var_1 = Func_Var_1;
start-script RequestState(0);
while( TRUE )
{
emit-sfx 2048 from beam;
sleep 60;
}
}
-added this string to fbi of unit:
Code: Select all
Weapon1=BuildLaser;
ShowNanoFrame=0;
LevelGround=0;
ShowNanoSpray=0;
[SFXTypes]
{
explosiongenerator0=custom:oldskool_shot1;
}
-Added "oldskool_shot1" into explosion that need "circle" texture ( i added "circle=whitecircle.tga;" string into the resource file with his tga file into the bitmaps directory )
-added "BuildLaser" weapon file that require "oldskool_build" explosion. I added "oldskool_build" explosion that require "squarehollow=hollowsquare.tga;" string into the resources.tdf and his image file into the bitmaps folder.
So... why i don't see laser now? what i wrong again?

CEG you wrong?
I don't know, copy the explosion generator, texture and FBI stuff from kernel panic and fiddle with the values...
