Fairly certain the models you're asking about comes with source filmmaker. In the tf2 dooms day lot. Here: props_doomsday\power_core_type

Do you have a link to the Tesla towers you used in the screenshot?
Victor the Dragon 30 Oct, 2023 @ 1:41am 
its very long unfortunately

This looks really good, I can't make it work, but it surely looks cool if you know how to use it

Hello! When I export a poster the outlines don't show up. Do I have to use a specific config?

Not for Animation. Only posing or Single Render, Like instead of the Electric bolt being straight it could be like a Zig-Zag like. But its mostly for Renders for now

@☾Nightmare Danish💔
I have been working on an animation for that but it's proving a bit challenging not to say I've given up but yeah just letting you know I have considered that.
☾ Dani 💔 9 Jul, 2022 @ 2:11pm 
Are the bolts posable so you could make like a Curve bolt?

I'm having the issue with the glow, like how it's described in the description.
Venom_Spy 25 Apr, 2022 @ 10:17am 
It didn`t glow, it just didn`t glow, I`ve followed instructions on screenshots and it didn`t bloody work, model only goes white and black and that`s all.
Lee Howdy Oswald 20 Mar, 2022 @ 11:37pm 
The color is showing, but when I go to render, it only renders in white. I tried the solution in the screenshots and it didn't seem to work. It's not much of an an issue, and thank you for the awesome model!
interwebss 1 Mar, 2022 @ 5:02pm 
im having a problem that whenever i render a poster the outline of the bolt doesnt show up

Thank you very much !

As for why it's a .mdl format is because that's the format the compiler puts it into and that this it is a model not a particle as models use .mdl particles use .pcf so why you're trying to convert it is kind of confusing.

This all being said from my experience of working with particle systems I found that the model can be placed in a particle system. I found this out with this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShpZT8mZ1VU&ab_channel=Argodaemon

Sorry for the confusion the reason for it being incomplete are for a few reasons actually.
1) When you submit content on the workshop the
"Includes:
Phobias\General\Effects\Electric_bolt\jointlesselectricbolt.mdl" automatically writes itself out.
So I technically didn't write it out.
2) I've been leaving it like that for all my content and you are the first person in all these years to bring this up.
3) Different operating systems will have slightly different file paths so I could only complete it as far as "\Steam\steamapps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\workshop\models\Phobias\General\Effects\Electric_bolt".
Шпион пиндосов 26 Dec, 2021 @ 12:13am 
May I ask?
WHY is the specified file location incomplete?
SourceFilmmaker \ game \ workshop \ models \ phobias \ general \ effects \ electric_bolt? Why is he just in the models? And why is it in mdl format and not pcf?
I have no way to convert it ...
I do not work much in sfm. Only 200 hours is not enough and I don’t know much, but I need answers to these questions.Thanks in advance for your reply

Why it isn't glowing when i export pictures?

@DEMOPAN TF2
It's a model
Piss Man 16 Feb, 2021 @ 7:51am 
I can't seem to find it in my downloads. Is it a particle or a model?
Dexto 29 Dec, 2020 @ 7:21pm 
just use jitter
Lord Killian Warstand 21 Nov, 2020 @ 8:53pm 
ok to any noob you must use the X Y Z PATH WAY OVER THE ROTATION MOVE SETTING
Lord Killian Warstand 21 Nov, 2020 @ 7:34pm

@Nitromancer
I'm happy for you. Glad you don't have the same issues that others are having on some of my models, issues I have no idea how to fix as the issues don't appear on my end but only theirs.
Æon 23 Oct, 2020 @ 9:59pm 
Just coming back here to say, This is an incredible Item. I use it very often, and its surprisingly versatile.
Biggie Rocc 29 Sep, 2020 @ 11:29am 
hmm... it'll take some work, but it will get the job done
Biggie Rocc 29 Sep, 2020 @ 11:15am 
YES! A LIGHTNING BOLT!







I hope this works...
Splee 31 Aug, 2020 @ 8:16pm 
Im having some trouble making the bolt shorter
Red Sword 27 Jun, 2020 @ 4:39pm 
I cannot shrink it. Every time I try, it just thins
Phobias  [author] 13 May, 2020 @ 6:21am 
@doshter
In hopes that you use motion editor did you make sure to select only a certain amount of time? Cus jitter won't work if you have all of time selected.
quilinia 12 May, 2020 @ 9:16pm 
the jitter doesnt seem to work at all
Phobias  [author] 22 Apr, 2020 @ 5:31pm 
@Veggie Ice Cream™
Cheers for the compliment.
Veggie Ice Cream™ 22 Apr, 2020 @ 5:22pm 
This is amazing!

If you're looking for Leaf Shield, your best bet would be to head over to the GMod workshop and grab the SSB4 Mega Man stuff from there. Porting it over to SFM will also give you models for a good chunk of Mega Man's various weapons from SSB4.

As for Flame Blast's fire pillars, you'd be better off looking at Pyro's flamethrower particles for that one.
Bonzi 29 Sep, 2019 @ 11:56am 
I wish these were textures it would be perfect for me :D
TMBCyberman the meme dealer 26 Sep, 2019 @ 6:10pm 
Then can you do a bunch of the weapons like Flame Pillar, Leaf Shield, etc? Because I have found this to be very effective as Thunder Beam
Phobias  [author] 26 Sep, 2019 @ 5:02pm 
@tmbcyberman
Can't do character models until I learned how to make HWM character models.
TMBCyberman the meme dealer 26 Sep, 2019 @ 10:52am 
Can you do Tomahawk Man from Mega Man 5?
fairy lord 14 Sep, 2019 @ 8:52pm 
you are welcome! you were a genius creating this mod and geniuses deserve to be properly credited and praised for your work!
Phobias  [author] 14 Sep, 2019 @ 7:19pm 
@meowfia leader blitz
Totally appreciate it! :steamhappy:
fairy lord 14 Sep, 2019 @ 7:15pm 
I am definately going to put this model to good use! I may even use it in a future animation of mine too! I will provide a link and credit you when finished.
PumpkinCake 14 Sep, 2019 @ 5:08pm 
I used this in a video. Thanks!

i've tryed out finding whats wrong and the black bolts work but lack the transparency of the display images, the white bolts are still all white no matter what.

I do apologise that the skins appear to be messing up somehow. A few of my other models I've given the glow effect to work for a majority of everyone but every now and then I get messaged by a few people that it's not working for them. I've been looking most everywhere for an answer on how to fix the issues for the few who have this struggle. It's especially hard for me to find an answer since the models obviously work perfectly on my end.

All I can advise for now is to make sure the camera bloom scale is higher than zero, and if you know how to work with materials and their coding maybe investigate other models that aren't mine that does work for you and see what they've done differently from me to get it to work.

The second I find out how to fix these problems I'll get right on to updating all my models with this issue fixed.
𝓛𝓮𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓰𝓲𝓸 8 Sep, 2019 @ 5:15pm 
Actually that is very cool! But when I let it render, then the color disappears and is completely white. This white looks like it was painted cheap with Paint. How can I fix this? :/
