Concerning StaticEffect

[Xuri]

Example:

pUser.StaticEffect( 0x091b, 1, 0 );

What exactly are the two latter numbers for? How are they used? In the docs it says the first is "speed", the second "loop". But why does my effect play for over 10 seconds with the above setting? *puzzled*

In the middle of documenting and updating documentaiton on much of the JS engine.

When I make it to staticeffect, I'll see how it runs, and make sure the doc properly reflects how it should behave. If it, at that point, still isn't behaving properly, it's a bug.

StaticEffect( effectID, speed, loop[, explode] );

Explode is only in effect if pUser is an item, not a character. Interestingly, the packet doc sees it as duration, rather than loop. Where 0 == really long, 1 == shortest. But then again, my packet doc is old.

If you want other references, look at spells DFN in the STATFX lines. The first two numbers are the effect ID, the last two are speed and loop, respectively.

xuri, what i personally think it is and i'm pretty sure it works is if you look at inside UO at the start of the static effect, count from that tile to the end of end of the effect from start to finish = loop #, and speed can be adjusted, but i think standard is probably around 5.
