;;  The effects are enabled by default but they can be disabled on
;;   the client by setting the client variable "cl_enableefx 0"
;;
;;  There is a client variable "cl_reloadefx" which you can use to
;;   reload the efx scripts without exiting the game.
;;
;;  When making new efx scripts bind the command "cl_reloadefx 1"
;;   to a key and run Vampire-Slayer in a window. You can then make
;;   changes to your efx script in your favourite editor and see
;;   the results instantly in the game with a single key press.
;;
;; NB: There is a bug in the efx file parser which means you
;;      must leave a space or ',' between each keyword and around
;;      brackest () and braces {}. This may be fix in the future but
;;    if you just follow the example scripts you'll be just fine :P
;;
;; So the question you all asking is why should I use these scripts
;;  rather than just putting the efx in using worldcraft. The the good
;;  news is there are a number of reasions.
;; 1) These efx are all processed client side which means less network
;;     traffic and there for less 'lag' than server based effects
;; 2) Save time tweaking effects, because the effect is defined in a
;;     seperate file you DO NOT need to recompile the map to change an
;;     effect
;; 3) The script allows for greater variation of effects at run time
;;     by allowing ranges to be used as parameters. This is a subtle
;;     yet powerfull feature. A smoke effect done in worldcraft would
;;     have all the smoke particles the same size and moving in the same
;;     direction at the same speed. Using the effects script each smoke
;;     particle could have a unique size, direction and speed, giving
;;     much more natural effects.
;;

;; The commands

;; Precache - All sprites, models and sounds must be listed
;;             in the precache section otherwise they will
;;             not appear in the efx
;;
;; Script <name> - Defines a new script called <name>. This
