Passing YOU in function EFFECT

The manual does not state that if function EFFECT is run from a entities action/function that the entities pointer is pass as the YOU point.
This should be in the notes for function EFFECT.

Or am I just benefiting from good/bad timing as the manual state EFFECT runs at the next wait?

Is the YOU pointer passed to the particle function or is the YOU pointer vagabond at the time the particle function is running?

Thank for your time and help

I don't know why that sentence focusses on effect_local but on a single player system effect_local and effect behave identically anyway.

Thank you Superku
I simply skipped that sentence and assumed all the information would be multiplayer specific.

Thank you again

Possibly it's not true when calling effect() in multiplayer games (bad idea anyway), so this information was put to effect_local().

Yes, that's right. The effect() function is remote triggered in a multiplayer game and thus has no YOU pointer, but I would use effect_local() on the clients anyway.
