Notifications and Effects

RaG Core includes notification icons and registered particle effects that dependent addons can reference without shipping duplicate assets.

Notification icons

Send a standard DayZ extended notification with a Core icon: 

NotificationSystem.SendNotificationToPlayerIdentityExtended(identity, 10.0, "VEHICLE EVENT", "Your vehicle scan is complete.", RaG_Notifications.CARLIFT_ICON);

Available constants:

Constant Intended visual
RaG_Notifications.FENRIR_ICON Fenrir
RaG_Notifications.THUNDER_ICON Thunder/lightning
RaG_Notifications.CARLIFT_ICON Vehicle lift
RaG_Notifications.BEAR_ICON Bear
RaG_Notifications.CAR_ICON Vehicle
RaG_Notifications.PVP_ICON PvP
RaG_Notifications.WOLF_ICON Wolf
RaG_Notifications.ZOMBIE_ICON Infected
RaG_Notifications.BLOOD_ICON Blood loss
RaG_Notifications.WATER_ICON Dehydration
RaG_Notifications.FOOD_ICON Starvation
RaG_Notifications.DRAGON_ICON Dragon

These constants resolve to paths under RaG_Core\data\Notifications\.

Registered particles

Core adds particle IDs to ParticleList. Examples:

Particle water = ParticleManager.GetInstance().PlayInWorld( ParticleList.EFF_RAG_WELLWATER, spawnPosition);

Particle lantern = Particle.PlayOnObject( ParticleList.VIKING_LANTERN, parentObject, "0 0.5 0", "0 0 0", true);

Available IDs include:

Group Constants
Dragon fire DRAGON_FIRE_BREATH, DRAGON_FIRE_PLAYER, DRAGON_FIRE_BALL, DRAGON_FIRE_BALL_GROUND, DRAGON_FIRE_BALL_IMPACT
Celebration EFF_RAG_CONFETTI
Beehive and smoker ENV_BEEHIVE_BEES, BEEHIVE_SMOKER, EFF_SMOKER_UP, EFF_SMOKER, EFF_SMOKER_DOOR_OPEN
World objects EFF_TABLESAW, VIKING_LANTERN, EFF_RAG_WELLWATER
Hazard and atmosphere EFF_TOXICBEAR, SPOOKY_AREA_GASS, SPOOKY_AREA_GAS_TINY, SPOOKY_AREA_GAS_AROUND, PEDESTAL_EFF

EffectParticle wrappers

Core also provides ready-made EffectParticle classes such as EffRaGConfetti, EffBeeHiveBees, EffBeeSmoker, EffTableSaw, EffRaGWellWater, and the dragon-fire wrappers.

protected ref EffRaGConfetti m_Confetti;

void PlayConfetti(Object parent)
{
    if (m_Confetti)
        return;

    m_Confetti = new EffRaGConfetti();
    SEffectManager.PlayOnObject(m_Confetti, parent, "0 1 0");
}

Store references when the effect lifecycle requires it, and stop or destroy looping effects when the parent is deleted or the feature turns off.

Temperature-source setters

Core extends UniversalTemperatureSource with runtime setters:

source.SetPosition(position);
source.SetFullRange(2.0);
source.SetMaxRange(5.0);
source.SetTemperatureCap(30.0);
source.SetTemperatureItemCap(60.0);
source.SetTemperatureItemCoef(0.5);
source.SetParent(parentEntity);
source.SetEnableOnTemperatureControl(true);
source.SetManualUpdate(false);

These methods modify the existing source settings. Your addon is still responsible for constructing the vanilla temperature source correctly and managing its activation and lifetime.

Asset compatibility

Notification paths and particle constants are convenient shared assets, but they are not a substitute for addon-owned branding. Use Core assets when their meaning matches your feature. If a visual is specific to your addon or part of its identity, ship it in your own PBO.

Do not reference files by Workshop installation path. Use the config/script constants or PBO-relative paths exposed by Core.
