Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to create any effect at a specific coordinates, I'm not asking about the create-explosion, as this only creates an explosion effect...
I know if can hack this by having a weapon with the effect I want and use weapon create, but I'm also not happy about that method, basically I would like to create whatever effect I want at a specific location, with option to loop it, is that option currently available in FRED?

I don't know of one off the top of my head.. but depending on the effect, I might look into mapping it to a simple box mesh, Use -trans and then have it appear when necessary.

Why not just create-weapon a flak-type weapon with a lifetime of zero (and an impact effect of whatever effect you wanted)?

The box mesh is probably easier to deal with and control, once you get it set up.
