Implementing

Use the following code to implement LibEffects-1.0:

local Effects = LibStub("LibEffects-1.0")

or you could also use it as a mix in by doing:

MyAddon = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):NewAddon("MyAddon", "LibEffects-1.0")

Flash()

To make the screen border flash use the following code:

Effects:Flash()

Shake()

To make the screen shake use the following code:

Effects:Shake()

AddSound(unique name, location)

AddSound() adds a sound to the sounds array, making it easy to play sounds later on. To add a sound, use the following code:

Effects:AddSound("DoorOpen",[[Sound\Doodad\PVP_Lordaeron_Door_Open.wav]])

Remember, the name must be unique.

PlaySound(unique name)

PlaySound() plays the sound with the name specified, to do so use this code:

Effects:PlaySound("DoorOpen")

UpdateSound(unique name, location)

UpdateSound() updates the sound file location, like so:

Effects:UpdateSound("DoorOpen",[[Sound\Doodad\PortcullisActive_Closed.wav]])
