What code calls for smokeTrail?

[Daedra]

This smoke:

 

 

It appears only after the alt fire has been made. I was wondering about this, as there are two guns that use this effect after their alt fires, the concussion rifle and the disruptor.

 

Now there is a shader for it in gfx2.shader, seen as so:

gfx/effects/smokeTrail
{
cull twosided
    {
        map gfx/effects/smoketrail
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
        rgbGen vertex
        tcMod scale 1 0.7
        tcMod scroll 0 -0.2
    }
    {
        map gfx/effects/smoketrail
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
        rgbGen vertex
        tcMod scale 1 0.3
        tcMod scroll 0 -0.3
    }
}

However, I cannot find the .efx file that calls for this (if there is even a .efx file that calls this).

 

So is it hardcoded in JKA? Or did I just miss the file that calls for this effect?

is hardcoded.

basically for the effect opf weapons into JKA code, they are scattered into differente functions.

hitwall,bouncewalleffect and hitperson effect are into cg_missilehitwall cg_missilebounce(or sometjhing like that) and cg_missilehitplayer . bounce is for EFX of flechette and bowcasters bouncing shoots.

For the FX of shoots of the weapons: check the FX files of weapons.

For the muzzle \ altmuzzle efx of the weapons: check the wp_ file of the weapons.

but they are damned hardcoded for be called to the silly weapons.dat. i am working to a RPG code rewrite that add a ton of easy modding feature on JKA, and also a space fighter cobmat as rogue squadron 3d \ x wing alliance on Single Player. 

i hope when i end to share this code with all. 

tmy project also related to allow a full customization of weapons models and effects .  and a beter customization of force power effects too with WPN files as JKG mod or the NPC files itself.

 is silly that this stuff is hardcoded. not leady any way for the imagination of modders.

 

 

however the smoke trail i think is called into wp_disruptor.cpp and wp_concussion.cpp that deal the function sof the weapons logic. check the alt fire shoot functions. there is something about Q3_INFINITE this is the functions called for a shoot of infinite velocity and istalty damage like the beams ray of these weapons.

the smoke trail is rendered when you shoot with the altfire beams of these weapons.

 

 

 
 
void FX_ConcAltMiss( vec3_t origin, vec3_t normal )
{
    //gentity_t self;
    
    vec3_t pos, c1, c2;

    VectorMA( origin, 4.0f, normal, c1 );
    VectorCopy( c1, c2 );
    c1[2] += 4;
    c2[2] += 12;
    
    VectorAdd( origin, normal, pos );
    pos[2] += 28;

    FX_AddBezier( origin, pos, c1, vec3_origin, c2, vec3_origin, 6.0f, 6.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.2f, 0.5f, WHITE, WHITE, 0.0f, 4000, cgi_R_RegisterShader( "gfx/effects/smokeTrail" ), FX_ALPHA_WAVE );

    theFxScheduler.PlayEffect( "concussion/alt_miss", origin, normal );
}
 

is FX_AddBezier

 

i never edited it. is on FXutil.cpp
