Hook for adding particle effects?

[mrdare360]

Could you add a hook to add particle effects to the game?

[LexManos]

You don't need any hooks for that.

[mrdare360]

But wouldn't editing RenderGlobal cause incomatibility with some mods?

[LexManos]

Why would you need to edit RenderGlobal?

Go look at EffectRenderer.

To add a name to my particle effect? I'll have a look at EffectRenderer and come back if i don't understand.

I still can't figure out how to spawn the particle in the world without naming it inside RenderGlobal, i use the addEffect method but can't spawn the particle because it doesn't have a name.

[LexManos]

Do whatever the heck the spawnParticle code does, in your own code....

[mrdare360]

Now i'm even more confused

The problem with that is there's no obvious (for me) way to non-statically inherit EffectRenderer, which is needed to actually render new particles. A hook would allow modders to keep static methods and variables to a low.

[LexManos]

Why would you need to statically inherit something..

Thats not how programming works.
