Thread: No idea how to use Firework Shows
Been playing with fireworks (from a distance of course!) and got some nice 90% quality ones. Made a few of the Foreworks Packages too, and have added fireworks to make a show. Trouble is, I can't seem to launch the show. I've tried double clicking in my inventory, and selection Launch from the radial dial. Help!
Haven't played for 7months. I back now though. I use to make them but got bored as they are to much hassle. Sometimes they launch, sometimes not, I think they maybe bugged.
Try 'using' them. Or if there is an option to kneel then use them. When your character uses them they should kneel down, places them and then thats it. They go off.
There's no special secret to launching a fireworks show... just bad coding. For some reason fireworks shows have always been problematic. This question will come up every few months and I always tell people the same thing: Sometimes the fireworks shows will work, sometimes they won't. There's been any number of explanations put forth as to how to get them to work, but no one has yet come up witha "trick" that allows them to work for everyone all the time.
My advice? Don't bother with the fireworks packages; they're a pain to load fireworks into anyway and you're limited to 20 effects per package. What I find most effective is to just take your regular fireworks, put them in your toolbar, and just start mashing buttons. Works everytime and allows you to put on a much longer program without an hour invested in loading individual fireworks into a package.
Good luck!
They are on my list for reworking in the Artisan Revamp, along with vehicles and etc.
