ARDI Effects Documentation Index

While scripts allow you to create a set of events that play once, effects allow you to change the way your assets behave at all times.

As well as simply describing a basic effect - for example, that an asset spins - you can link individual properties of that effect to the attributes of your assets. So your rate of spin can be controlled by how fast the real object is spinning.

You can look up effect functions either by function or alphabetically.

You can add and modify effects from the Effects, Options and Scripts section under the details of your asset.

Each effect is added in its own line of XML. Some ARDI web site functions may add new effects automatically, or copy effects between assets.

Note that you can apply an effect to a type as well as an individual asset, to deploy a new effect to several assets quickly and easily.
