WPSC (File Format)

This file format needs more research Key parameters need reverse-engineering

The WPSC effect script format is used to build weapon-projectiles in the Metroid Prime series. Projectile appearance, audio and motion are controlled by the keys in this script.

WPSC Keys

Scope is one of (Constant, System)

• Constant parameters are evaluated once initially and retained within the system.
• System parameters are evaluated per-system, per-frame.
