The "effect" Function

Syntax

effect();

Argument	Type	Description
N/A	N/A	No arguments

Description

Initializes a segment of code containing VNgen effect instructions only (not regular keyframe data). Cannot be used in the regular Q-script loop, but rather is intended for use in dedicated effect scripts. See Creating Custom Effects for full details.

Example

if effect() {

draw_set_alpha(ef_var[0]);

draw_rectangle(input_x, input_y, input_x + input_width, input_y + input_height, false);

draw_set_alpha(1);

}
