======Effect======
----
**Effects** are visual particle effects created in the [[Effect Editor]] (e.g. fire, rain, snow, fountains, sparks, etc.). They can be added to a [[map]] in the [[Map Editor]] by selecting one of your project's effects from the assets tab on the right. They can also be attached to a model's [[attach_points|attach point]] in the [[voxel_editor|Model Maker]] or added dynamically in-game via the [[Add Effect]] scripting function. Since an effect is a type of [[entity]], they can be removed from the scene completely via the [[Remove Entity]] function.

It's important to note that "One-Shot" effects added via the [[Add Effect]] function will need to be triggered using the [[Enable Effect]] function once they've been added to the [[map]] (or whenever the particles need to be emitted).
