I have tried following the tutorial for inserting an effect into an object, but I think harvestable objects are different.
I copied the harvest fruit and tried inserting the effect "spring_challenge_growfruit_tree_glow" into line 177 of the Leniad:object_GardeningFruit_VenusApple object tuning.
Not sure if this is just the wrong insertion place or if there is something special about this effect, making it the wrong effect for this purpose.
my file is HERE if anyone could look at it and help sort this out. Thank you. |

Hi Leniad. Have you tried putting 4A94484F6F5B3BF5 into the VFXHash box under the Entries button within the Cutout Info Table data entry? No tuning should be necessary if you do it that way... Cheers! |

Thanks minimonster, that worked - sort of. Not sure where the id you gave came from, but I assume it was from the glow tree. After removing my inserted tuning code and lowering the z value of the _fx:Position (-2.25) on the rig, the effect worked - just way too big.  Does anyone know a way to reduce the size of the effect, or perhaps another smaller "glowing" object in the game? I couldn't think of one. |

Hi Leniad - I got the hash from the name of the FX which you listed - spring_challenge_growfruit_tree_glow, which since I was still on my first pint of coffee, didn't stop to think about it being the FX for the tree itself, and not the one for the green PlantSim seed - spring_challenge_growfruit_glow, which is 9B9D59C97E6DAAF8. Try that one instead, it is nowhere near the spread of the tree glow, unless that is what you are actually going for. Of course, you will need to move the _FX_ bone back, but no big deal. edit: I just checked my tutorial post, and just now saw your comment at the end. I followed the same methodology that I wrote there, which never requires custom tuning for an always-on effect... Cheers. |

I see your tutorial now. I was following j's tutorial "Step by Step Tutorial on Adding Effects to Objects" Thank you. That totally worked.   |
