Reference Node

References a model file

Syntax:

node reference [node_name]

     Properties

endnode

Description:

This node seems to include the contents of another model file into the model. This node appears in the spell models and seems to refer to another file: fx_ref.mdl This node always appears as a child of an emitter node, but not all emitter nodes have a reference node as a child.

Properties:

parent [node_name] - the parent node in the tree. All nodes have this property. Top level nodes use NULL.

The following three properties are optional:

position [X] [Y] [Z] - The position in 3d space of this node.

orientation [X-Axis] [Y-Axis] [Z-Axis] [rotation_ammount] - the node is rotated around the axis given in x,y,z

wirecolor [red] [green] [blue] - This probably defines the color for the object's wireframe.

refModel [filename] - The file to refer to. In spell_01.mdl and spell_02.mdl this file is fx_ref.mdl.

reattachable [??] - Unknown.
