FX Query...

[cmdrkoenig67]

I asked this over at TOF a earlier this year and Panther Gunn tried to assist me a bit with it, I thought I'd ask it here too.

Does anybody know if it's possible to make a rock fall fx?...I'd like to have a cave in effect/power that can cause crushing damage (as a trap).  It would look like falling rocks/boulders (of course), with dust (and maybe fragments at impact point).

I've been looking at different fx and I'm not very good at putting fx together (but I think the end nif could be something like the massive impact or stomp)....I have no idea what the start and core parts could be.

I know the FFVTTR Subterranean has a flying boulder attack (called boulder_bash)...Could this be altered somehow to make it fall from above (maybe with added boulders)?

The FFX Weather Control attribute has a "hailstorm" attack, there might be something there you can work with.

Thanks, JK....I'll check it out.

I found the "weather Control" attribute in the ffx manual, but I have no clue what fx it uses for hailstorm and I can't seem to find any fx related to hailstorm.

the suicide squad mod has a rock fall level. remember? i think it was the third level, you have to custom click on something to make a rock fall. i was thinking you could take the code and reuse it to make an fx?

Poking around the files, it looks like the fx is "snowman_ice_burst"

@Beard, I'll check that out, thanks.

@JKCarrier, I looked at that fx after you named it here, I don't think it's going to work, but thank you so much for the suggestion and the effort.
