+Ultra Particle: Custom Melee Trail

You must subscribe to the texture file for this to work correctly

Replaces steamworks.pcf Allow custom melee weapons to create many color trailing effects. This is only the base particle, it doesn't actually just give your existing weapon melee trail effects, it must be added to animation sequences (only useful for modders).

Available effect list:

weapon_melee_blue_trail weapon_melee_blue_embers weapon_melee_blue_laser weapon_melee_bluer_trail weapon_melee_bluer_embers weapon_melee_bluer_laser weapon_melee_red_trail weapon_melee_red_embers weapon_melee_red_laser weapon_melee_dark_laser weapon_melee_green_trail weapon_melee_green_embers weapon_melee_green_laser weapon_melee_cyan_trail weapon_melee_cyan_laser weapon_melee_yellow_trail weapon_melee_yellow_embers weapon_melee_yellow_laser weapon_melee_pink_trail weapon_melee_pink_embers weapon_melee_pink_trail_laser weapon_melee_orange_trail weapon_melee_orange_embers weapon_melee_orange_laser weapon_melee_purple_trail weapon_melee_purple_embers weapon_melee_purple_laser weapon_melee_white_trail weapon_melee_white_embers weapon_melee_white_laser weapon_melee_black_trail weapon_melee_neon_trail (fade from pink to blue) weapon_melee_lava_trail (fade from yellow to red) weapon_melee_icy_trail (fade from orange to blue) weapon_melee_warp (simple refract trail)

Example:

$sequence "swing_e_w_layer" { "anims\swing_e_w.smd" activity "ACT_VM_HITLEFT" 1 { event AE_CL_CREATE_PARTICLE_EFFECT 2 "weapon_melee_blue_laser follow_attachment attach_blur" } fadein 0 fadeout 0.2 fps 36 }

The bolded text is what you needed to add, it will create the particle on frame 2 of the animation, effect name is weapon_melee_blue_laser, and it will be created at attachment named "attach_blur"

The attachment may need to be rotated to align with the blade so the beam effect can be angled correctly, otherwise it would look bad
