The runtime module

Everything you author in SineVFX lives on the instances in your place. To make those effects play in your running game, SineVFX generates a runtime module and plants it into your place. Your game code then calls a tiny API and the module reproduces the effect for real.

Planting the module

1. Open the Module entry on the SineVFX menu.
2. Plant the module. SineVFX writes it to ReplicatedStorage.SineVFX.

That's it - the module is self-contained. Ship your place and the effects go with it.

Re-plant after edits

The module is a snapshot of your effect logic at plant time. Whenever you change effects and want the shipped copy to match, re-plant it. If in-game playback ever looks out of date, a re-plant is the fix.

What gets planted

The generated module bundles SineVFX's particle/ribbon simulation, the Lightning bolts, the Light / Highlight / Decal copy emitters and the Screen Effect driver, plus a small public surface:

local VFX = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.SineVFX)

exposing VFX.emit, VFX.enable, and VFX.disable. See the full Runtime API.

Client vs. server

Effects render per-client. Call the API from a LocalScript (or a client-side module), not from the server. If you call it from a server context, SineVFX warns you - the effect won't render for players because rendering is a client concern. To play an effect for everyone, fire it on each client (e.g. via a RemoteEvent your server broadcasts).

Where to call it from

A typical setup:

• Author and preview effects in Studio.
• Plant the module.
• From a LocalScript, require the module and call VFX.emit(effectInstance) when the effect should play (on a hit, a cast, a pickup, etc.).
