According to the wiki, loaded fx such as powerup grabbed fx are preloaded and dont need to be precached or anything in your maps gsc, zone etc. What about for fx found in radiant such as fire/fx_fire_ground_rubble_50x50? I have seen a bunch of different approaches to adding a radinat fx into your map through scripting, but what is the best/fastest way to having scripted fx's found in radiant?

In zone load the fx:

fx,path_of_the_fx

In your gsc, after the usings, precach the fx:

#precache( "fx", "path_of_the_fx");

Then different method to play it:

PlayFX(&lt;path_of_the_fx&gt;,&lt;position&gt;,[forward],[up],[ignore pause]);
//or
PlayFXOnTag(&lt;path_of_the_fx&gt;,&lt;entity&gt;,&lt;tag&gt;,[ignore pause]);&lt;/tag&gt;&lt;/entity&gt;&lt;/path_of_the_fx&gt;&lt;/position&gt;&lt;/path_of_the_fx&gt;

the "path_of_the_fx" would be in your case "fire/fx_fire_ground_rubble_50x50"
