how do the fireworks shows work?

build show

build some fireworks

add fireworks to show (its on the radial of the show, takes a sec to show up)
not sure if there is limit to # that can be added

launch show (radial menu), fireworks will launch in order every .5sec This I have trouble with. I;m not sure if you have to kneeling or what. I've tried the launch command before and nothign. Then I tried a bunch of stuff but with lag and my generally not paying much attention I'm not sure what if anything got it to launch.

The max number of fireworks you can put in a show is 20. As for launching them, I have had trouble with it. I usually just keep pushing the launch button off the radial menu until the bloody thing launches.

I too had trouble launching them, so just for grins I put it in an open Hotkey spot, hit the key and wammo off went the show... Very cool btw. I am glad they fixed this was a pain having to launch a million individual rockets.

Well I think I found a sure fire way to launch these things without any trouble. After loading up you Shows with fireworks, put them in an empty Hotkey.

Then when your ready, hit the hotkey corrisponding to the show you wish to use. I've managed to launch multiple shows within seconds this way, taking a few steps to place some distance betwwen them and make a bigger show.

Unfortunatly though, it seems that the launch option on the shows radial dial if broke. So this seems to be the only way to launch them.

Rugoe

if you /kneel then hit lounch they should work just fine....(as far as i know any way).

ps:i only got to see it work the other day..it was never working sence iv been playing.not it is and iv lounche 20-30 just for fun (as im master artisan)and the /kneel works for me every time

Double-clicking the show in inventory lauches them even when in a standing position. I like to make 4 or five of them and chain launch them while moving

The 20 events per package limit is painful. As is the radial menu/dialog for entering the events into the package.

Why oh why could they not have implemented drag and drop for this? Drag a firework to a package and it would add one firework from the stack to the package. Simple, elegant, and oh so much less tedious than the radial menu and dialog.

Thank goodness I only have 48 more packages to fill up before I and my helpers can set the skies ablaze with five minutes of fireworks.
