Effects
The effects available in Firebot represent the cool stuff that can happen in response to things like a command or an event. There are a lot of effects available, and even more ways to combine them in unique ways to create a memoriable experience for your viewers.
Effects List
Effects are contained within an effects list, and some effects can contain additional effect list(s). Each effects list has an unique ID, and can control features like which Effect Queue to run the effects within. Preset effect lists are bespoke effect lists that can accept custom parameters. These can be very helpful for designing and testing larger collections of effects.
