In a map

To use this effect in a map, turn off SmartEdit mode and add the following keyvalue pair to the entity: effects 1.

Note:If it is desired to use this with other effects, you should add the integer value of each effect to the value.

You can set the effects keyvalue during runtime using AddOutput with the input value effects x (x being any summation of effects flags to enable).

Warning:Using AddOutput to change an entity's effects may interfere with an entity's simulation functionality.
