How would one go about...

When creating effects for a jet engine I am making, I realized an afterburner effect would be really cool. Unfortunately, I am unsure if it is possible to set an effect to start on anything but when power is applied, when a flameout occurs, or when the engine starts. I was just wondering if there was a way to insert an effect that only applies when the engine is at full throttle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No help? Darn.

As far as I know there's no way to get the names of the FXs that are being invoked by ModuleEngines (except by asking a dev).

You could write your own plugin that checks whether the thrust matches max_thrust and applies the FX then.

Ah. Thank you! Time to write a plugin.

For flameout use fx_exhaustFlame_blue = 0.0, -2.4, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, running or what ever effect but instead of "running" place "flameout," This is form the arrow spike: fx_exhaustSparks_flameout = 0.0, -0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, flameout. But for the after burner affects I think your forced to make a plugin.
