Show FX not the same for the teams?

[Loveboy]

Hello Guys, I want to play a fx, which should be not show the same for the teams.
Like if I am in allies, then my team (which are too allies) should show friendly fx, and if axis see the fx, then should they see it in red.
I prepared the FX, but I don't know if it's possible with the script.
I tried it, but I failed. Somebody said me it works with the showTo, but the script error said that it's an unknown function.

Here is the script what I tried:

	level._effect["carepackage_friendly"] = loadfx ("fx/carepackage/carepackage_friendly.efx");
	level._effect["carepackage_enemy"] = loadfx ("fx/carepackage/carepackage_enemy.efx");

			players = getentarray("player", "classname");
    			for (i = 0; i<players.size; i++)
     			{
				if(self.pers["team"] == "allies" && players.pers["team"] == "allies")
				{
					maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("carepackage_friendly", self.origin) showTo(players.pers["allies"]);
				}
				else if(self.pers["team"] == "allies" && players.pers["team"] == "axis")
				{
					maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("carepackage_enemy", self.origin) showTo(players.pers["axis"]);
				}
				else if(self.pers["team"] == "axis" && players.pers["team"] == "axis")
				{
					maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("carepackage_friendly", self.origin) showTo(players.pers["axis"]);
				}
				else if(self.pers["team"] == "axis" && players.pers["team"] == "allies")
				{
					maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("carepackage_enemy", self.origin) showTo(players.pers["allies"]);
				}
			}

Is it maybe possible what I want to do?

Would be very very nice if it's possible

Ah ok But then I will show both teams same FX, should be this right, because the FX will not play

	level._effect["carepackage"] = loadfx("fx/carepackage/carepackage.efx");

			maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("carepackage", self.origin, 0.3); //Can I set here self.origin? I need to play the FX where the play is currently.

self is not defined.

Yes, it is - by using showtoplayer(). This is from my killconfirmed script:

spawnDogtagEffect()
{
	dogtag = playLoopedFx( level._effect["dogtags"] , 1.0 , self.origin );
	dogtag thread showToTeam( self.pers["team"] );

	level.dogtags[level.dogtags.size] = dogtag;
}

showToTeam( team )
{
	self endon( "deleted" );

	for( ; ; )
	{		
		self hide();

		players = getEntArray( "player" , "classname" );

		for( i = 0 ; i < players.size ; i++ )
		{
			player = players[i];

			if( isDefined( player.pers["team"] ) && player.pers["team"] == team )
				self ShowToPlayer( player );
		}

		level waittill( "joined_team" );
	}	
}

Nice script, but I don't understand it. There aren't two effects, I need one effect for showing for the friendly players and enemy players.
And here is team undefined -> if( isDefined( player.pers["team"] ) && player.pers["team"] == team )

		{

    carepackage_friendly thread showToTeam( "allies" );

    carepackage_enemy = playLoopedFx( level._effect["carepackage_enemy"], 1.0, self.origin );
    carepackage_enemy thread showToTeam( "axis" );


}

showToTeam( team )
{
    self endon( "death" );

    for( ;; )
    {        
        self hide();

        players = getEntArray( "player" , "classname" );
        for( i = 0 ; i < players.size ; i++ )
        {
            player = players[i];

            if( isDefined( player.pers["team"] ) && player.pers["team"] == team )
                self ShowToPlayer( player );
        }
        
        wait( 0.05 );
    }    
}

Wow very nice! I never thought that it's possible

Hmm did I something wrong so that the FX don't play? It doesn't matter where I define level._effect?

			level._effect["carepackage_friendly"] = loadfx ("fx/carepackage/carepackage_friendly.efx");
			level._effect["carepackage_enemy"] = loadfx ("fx/carepackage/carepackage_enemy.efx");

			carepackage_friendly = playLoopedFx( level._effect["carepackage_friendly"], 1.0, self.origin );
    			carepackage_friendly thread showToTeam( "allies" );
	
    			carepackage_enemy = playLoopedFx( level._effect["carepackage_enemy"], 1.0, self.origin );
    			carepackage_enemy thread showToTeam( "axis" );

showToTeam(team)
{
	self endon( "death" );

   	for( ;; )
   	{        
       	self hide();

        	players = getEntArray( "player" , "classname" );
		for( i = 0 ; i < players.size ; i++ )
		{
            		player = players[i];

            		if( isDefined( player.pers["team"] ) && player.pers["team"] == team )
                	self ShowToPlayer( player );
		}
	} 
}

I will not hold your hand on this. You will have to play around with the timing of the FX in order to get it to work. I put in a default of 1 second, but I have no idea what time is actually needed as I have never seen your fx file.

I really wish you people would stop using this forum for copy-and-paste scripting. You ask for help, but you actually want someone to code it all for you, so that you can just copy-and-paste it, all ready to work. This forum is for help - as in advice on which direction to take. It is not for copy-and-paste code.

It's an quick FX, if you don't use it in loop, then it play only 1 second (it's how like a light), and I want to play it in loop, so there shouldn't show only 1 secound.
I think carepackage_friendly = playLoopedFx( level._effect["carepackage_friendly"], 1.0, self.origin ); is why that doesn't work. The FX does exist, the path is correct.
I will ask other guys now too, maybe they know how it can work.
