How to change image/iwi in existing maps?

I see. Well I succeeded to avoid that and play it perpendicular to the surface, but yeah for some reason it appears weirdly rotated. I also rotated the origin (commented function) to see if the fx follows the forward vector of the origin, but apparently it does not, which is the root of the problem

Give it a try and do this lil workaround, normally it should be OK for axis-aligned surfaces. If it's no use then you'll have to go with the model approach.

PS: In FX editor make your fx spawn 1 unit ahead in forward vector, so that it doesnt coincide with the surface and do that "flashing" thing. I left you an .efx I used inside the .iwd which has that already.

Thanks again!!!
You mean the rotateYaw() function i guess. I'll try to play with that and see. The fx in the last picture appears to be flashing but in fact is not. I had just included an alpha channel to see how it would work. I had already spawned the fx in a way so it did not coincide with the wall. If it doesn't work I'll have to go with the model approach (i try to avoid it because i haven't used blender or any other 3d software before) or just go with this method on axis aligned surfaces.
