This command will load and apply an FX file to an object.

SET EFFECT ON Object Number, Effect Filename, Texture Flag

Object Number

Integer
The object number

Effect Filename

String
The effect number

Texture Flag

Integer
The texture flag

This command does not return a value.

If the object does not exist onto which an effect is set, a default model is created either specified by the FX file or if none is specified, an internal pyramid model. The FX filename must point to an FX file that is compatible with the DX9 effect framework and typically uses the extension ".fx". If the Texture Flag is set to zero, the effect will use the textures already mapped to the model, and a value of one will discard the current textures and load the textures specified in the FX file. Typically, effects rely on the specified model and textures in the FX file to function properly. Be aware that if you want the X file specified in the effect to load automatically, that X file must be completely compatible with the latest DirectX 9.0c loader, otherwise the model will not be used. The DirectX mesh loader differs from the DBPro object loader, in that the DBP loader can parse and handle more variants of X file.
