Notes

• ES can only reliably provide a subset of effects and these are shown to all players.
• All points/vectors use the vector-string syntax of es_createvectorstring.
• This command is still experimental and may have its syntax changed eventually.
• This command was introduced in EventScripts version 1.5.
