FX

WHAT ITS FOR:

FX objects can add special effects to the level. They are only cosmetic effects and have nothing to do with the gameplay. One FX object can add several types of effects at the same time, like a light, particles or lens-effects.

PROPERTIES:

 Name text field: the name of the FX.

 Attach /  Detach buttons: you can attach an FX to an enemy or the player .

To attach an object to another:
Select the object you want to attach then press the  Attach button in the Attach section of the properties panel. A chain and a hook will move with your mouse: move it on the object you want to attach the other object to (this object outlines should turn red to show you you can attach) and click to validate.

To detach an object:
Select the object you want to detach, and click the  Detach button in the Attach section of the properties panel.
