Im having trouble playing fx in script files.

Using:

playfx( {EFFECT}, self.origin );

doesnt work

I try precaching like so:

#precache( "fx", "_t6/maps/zombie/fx_zombie_bar_break" );

which does nothing...

am i missing something?

This is how I do it:

At the top of the script outside of the main function:

#define KINO_SWIRL "_NSZ/Kino_Tele/kino_swirl" 
#precache( "fx", KINO_SWIRL );

Then I do:

playfx( KINO_SWIRL, level.black_spots_targets[player_num].origin );

You also need to include the fx in your zone file:

fx,_NSZ/Kino_Tele/kino_swirl

So if two entitities have the same targetname or if you don't include a time delay during a while loop you get uncaught errors which break the script.
