Question:
How would you go about adding effects to a mobile? Like animated art tiles to a mobile. I tried
this.FixedParticles( 0xBA9F, 2, 2220, 0, EffectLayer.Head );
But that didn't seem to work, just wondering if I am heading in the right direction?
Trying to add a quest marker above the head once I can get it to show I can then get it to change once the status of the quest is either open or in progress or complete.
Oh I also tried
this.FixedEffect( 0xBA9F, 2, 2220, 0, EffectLayer.Head );
But I know there is no layer for that one and gives errors since there is no layer for that one gives arguments for it.
From Honest Beggar quest
Compiles just fine just no effects

[Constructable]
        public Austin()    : base( AIType.AI_Vendor, FightMode.None, 2, 1, 0.5, 2 )
        {
            Name = "Austin";
            Title = "the Beggar";
            Race = Race.Human;
            BodyValue = 0x190;
            Female = false;
            Hue = Race.RandomSkinHue();
            InitStats( 100, 100, 25 );

            Utility.AssignRandomHair( this, true );

            AddItem( new Backpack() );
            AddItem( new Doublet() );
            AddItem( new ShortPants( 0x755 ) );

            this.FixedParticles( 0x3779, 10, 2000, 5009, EffectLayer.Waist );

            this.FixedParticles( 0xBA9F, 2, 2220, 0, EffectLayer.Head );

        }

Will not show when in the constructor of the mobile, use OnAfterSpawn method or alike to fire the effect once the mobile is in the world! IIRC you could use the constructor but would need to use a call back timer to apply once the mobile constructed!
