Place effects on a map

[Stein]

I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to place a effect on a map using the effect_list.txt:

https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/blob/master/doc/effect_list.txt

For example: placing the firewall effect (Nr. 25) on a desired coordinate as permanent effect or trigger.

Any Idea? Is this possible?

You can place any effects on map using Browedit, but you'd need to patch map files client-side for people to see.

Thanks Garr. That's good but it goes too deep into map editing. I am now thinking of a script NPC or Mob.

Is it possible to give NPCs or Mobs a effect? Like a NPC with a Aura, or invisible Sprite / NPC with Firewall effect.. burning Poring. etc.

Well, not quite what you're thinking about, but you can summon effect from NPC using several different commands:

skilleffect;npcskilleffect;specialeffect;specialeffect2;misceffect;
You can read their descriptions inside doc/script_commands.txt and choose whichever you see most fitting.

But be warned, those only summon effect for the predefined duration of the effect itself (only), so if you want a continuous animation you'd need to refresh the animation calling every now and then, and for that npc timer will come in handy
