'''EFFECTLOCATION x,y,z,type, item_id, speed, loop, explode, colour(hue), rendermode'''

=Description=

x,y,z are de coordinates where the effect will show on the ground. Type is a number 0-3 from the table below. Item_id is the base id (this must be a "base" item ID - which you can identify as an [ITEMDEF 0xxx] where xxx is a number not a name) of the item or animation. If the ID is a animation, you likely want to use the first id of the animation loop. Speed is a number determining the speed of the animation and the travel speed if it's a projectile, with 1 being the slowest and higher numbers being faster. Loop specifies the time the animation will play, 16 is a good default. This is NOT frames of animation, as a high speed results in more frames per given loop setting. Explode is a boolean defining whether the projectile should make an explosion animation when reaching the character.

=Effect Types=
{| border="1" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4"
| '''Effect Number''' || '''Short''' || '''Long Description'''
|-
| 0 || Standard flying object || The object will follow its target until it hits, and then explode if that flag is set||
|-
| 1 || Lightning effect || This is the only way to achieve the lightning effect in-game ||
|-
| 2 || Ground-based effect || This effect will stay at a particular point on the map until it expires. As a result, it will appear lower than a type 3 effect. This is the only way to get an effect onto an item.||
|-
| 3 ||Character-based effect || This effect will follow the character as he moves, the way a flamestrike does when the spell is cast. The bottom of the effect is somewhere around the character's knees.
|-
| 4 ||Flash effect || (New 6+ (needs verification)) Clients Only) Provides a screen-wide effect. All other parameters besides Item Id is ignored. Item Id controls the flash type:

{| border="1" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4"
| '''Item Id''' || '''Effect''' || '''Description'''
|-
| 0 || Fade to Black (Slow) || Fades the screen to black before returning to normal similar to the death effect found on some client versions
|-
| 1 || Fade to White (Slow) || Fades the screen slowly to complete white followed by a return to normal
|-
| 2 || Fade to white (Fast) || Fades the screen quickly to complete white followed by a return to normal (lightning flash type effect)
|-
| 3 || Fade to White then Black (Slow) || Fades to complete white then to black. Behaves as if effect 1 is played immediately followed by effect 0.
|-
| 4 || Fade to Black (Fast) || Fades the screen quickly to complete black followed by a return to normal

-x,y,z are de coordinates where the effect will show on the ground.  Type is a number 0 or 2 from the table below (other effects will not be played, only effect 0(bolt) and 2(ground level) seems valid, probably cause they don't accept a map point).  Item_id is the base id (this must be a "base" item ID - which you can identify as an [ITEMDEF 0xxx] where xxx is a number not a name) of the item or animation.  If the ID is a animation, you likely want to use the first id of the animation loop.  Speed is a number determining the speed of the animation and the travel speed if it's a projectile, with 1 being the slowest and higher numbers being faster.  Loop specifies the time the animation will play, 16 is a good default.
