Prop spawn effect like when spawned from the Q menu

[Clavus]

Is there some way you can replicate the same spawn effect as when you spawn a prop in sandbox in lua? You know, where you see a little distortion when the prop appears.

[Python1320]

Of course, look at the sandbox source.

Ah right, thought it was coded into GMod itself. Anyway, I still can't get it working. I copied the "propspawn" from the sandbox's effects map to my gamemode's effects map, and used the same lua code for spawning it:
[lua]
local eff = EffectData()
eff:SetEntity( newprop )
util.Effect( "propspawn", eff, false, true )
[/lua]

I tried running it on both the server and the client, but the effect just won't appear. No related notifications in console. I put a print statement in the EFFECT.Init but it's not getting called.

Works fine for me.

I didn't use the two extra arguments though.

And it just doesn't work for me, without giving me a single hint of what could be wrong. The effect just doesn't appear. :(

There shouldn't be much of a reason why it isn't working past the entity not actually getting set. Try using a different effect and see if it works in its place.

Now this is just bullshit: I copied a refract_ring effect to my gamemode and made that spawn instead of the propspawn effect; it worked fine. Now I switched back to the propspawn effect, and all of a sudden that's working too.

This is as illogical as programming gets.

Garrysmod sometimes needs a restart before certain things work. I don't know the cause of it.

Are you either deriving from sandbox or have copied the effect into your gamemode's effects directory?

[DocDoomsday]

Lol I've never had effects when spawning props, maybe because i dont run my SVN Version?
