The public WorldBuilder release can't create action markers for some reason, but we can still copy/paste ones from maps that ship with the game. This package contains a wide selection of particle effect and sound markers inside WB stamps.
Instructions
Place both folders into \dawn of war 2\Tools\ToolsData\WorldBuilderData\Stamps\. When you open up world build your stamp list will now be populated with the effects.
Usage
- Select "Stamp Placement" on toolbar.
- Select the effect required from the stamp list
- Place on map with right click (it can be moved after)
- Either press enter or hit "Create Stamp" button
These effects will not show in WorldBuilder yet, but will show in game. To start and move them, select the "Render Marker Prox" icon and make sure Action Markers is selected in the sidebar.
- To start: Select each action marker and press restart or click the Restart All button from the right hand toolbar.
- To move: selected either one of the axis, or the bottom yellow "plate" to move freely. You cannot use H to raise you need to select the y axis.
- To copy: You can copy with ācā as per usual.
To change effect see the expandable command box. Its size, height and direction can all be affected.
- Delay: Delay in effect starting from map start in seconds
- Fx: Effect registered to action marker (cannot be changed)
- Position: no change
- Orientation: Rotates effect in 360 angle but doesn't change direction
- Length: Height of the effect along the vertical Y axis
- Scale: Directly effect size
- Self Mark: no change
This will surely come in useful ;)
Is there any new FX from CR?
