TE_FIREFIELD

Spawns randomly positioned sprites in a cube or on a square plane.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	pos	Center point of the effect
uint16_t	radius	Size of the cube or square (distance from center point to a side)
const char*	sprite	Sprite to display (alpha transparency)
uint8_t	count	Number of sprites to spawn
uint8_t	flags	Combinable options: 1 : All sprites will drift upwards 2 : 50% of the sprites will drift upwards 4 : Loop sprites at 15fps instead of playing one cycle stretched to fit the "life" time 8 : Display sprites at 50% opacity 16 : Spawn sprites on a flat plane instead of in cube
uint8_t	life	Time to display sprites (seconds * 0.1 +/- some random amount)

Example Usage

void te_firefield(Vector pos, uint16_t radius=128, 
    const char* sprite="sprites/grenade.spr", uint8_t count=128, 
    uint8_t flags=30, uint8_t life=5,
    int msgType=MSG_BROADCAST, edict_t* dest=NULL) 
{
    MESSAGE_BEGIN(msgType, SVC_TEMPENTITY, dest);
    WRITE_BYTE(TE_FIREFIELD);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.x);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.y);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.z);
    WRITE_SHORT(radius);
    WRITE_SHORT(MODEL_INDEX(sprite));
    WRITE_BYTE(count);
    WRITE_BYTE(flags);
    WRITE_BYTE(life);
    MESSAGE_END();
