but you should put a "wait ( xx )" in the end, to allow to complete the previous effect. ----------------------------------------------------- I would like to make a question about it. what difference is in using an "while(1)" instead of a "for(;;)" ?

Depends on if you want to make it hit the same spot again (the script I posted with the while(1) line in it, does that) or if you want it to hit other positions too.. While(1) and for(,,,) basically do the same thing.. no difference as far as I know.

Just do the same again, but with other targetnames in the script and in the map and other locations to hit.. main() { level._effect["flak_artillery"] = loadfx("fx/explosions/artilleryExp_dirt_brown.efx"); thread mortarhit_01(); thread mortarhit_02(); } mortarhit_01() { ... } mortarhit_02() { ... }
