2DFX Documentation

[Tut]

I felt guilty for not leaving proper documentation on 2DFX in my recent user-guide. So I brought in some bonus! I apologise for the occasional seagulls, should've shot them down 

This demonstrates what's currently possible through Dexx SA Tools (Maxscript) and Goldfish's edition of Kam's scripts 2018 (Maxscript). No MTA scripting required.

Please note.
Flare type = the reflection of the light, look at the sun in-game for reference
Show mode = the speed in which the light blinks, or special animation for use with traffic lights and train crossing signals
Type = the name of the image used for the light, e.g coronalight or coronamoon.

a big thanks to NanoBob for giving me access to his camera script

I am working on a wiki page but still trying to figure how to place it in the correct category and all that. Pics can be updated if you have better ones.

The problem is that this kind of stuff doesnt allow to pass parameters to the effects, just like createEffect is missing parameters. At least with createEffect you can control the draw distance. Thats why i created a simple map editor helper script that allows to place/move/edit these effects in the map editor with all their properties.
