An FX effect constant is one of many internal variables of the effect which control the effect in real-time based on what the FX does. Some constants are automatically provided to the FX system effect such as world and camera positions, time and other critical data. Often, FX files will contain extra constants to create a variety of results and these constants can be altered in real-time by this command. Use the PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR EFFECT VALUES to get the names of all the constants you can alter.
