During the searching my HDD I've found many CS2D folders (am I do only one here who has more than only one?!). In one of them I've noticed an old script - script that helps to easy generate effects instead of using boring parse("effect ...") method. I edited it a little and here you are effect.

Script contains some functions to create, remove and change effects saved in one table.

Setup variables

eff.UpdateMode = "second" / "ms100" / "always"
Hook to update effects, "ms100" by default
eff.Limit = 200
Limit of effects
eff.RadiusLimit = 200
Limit of radius of all effects
eff.AmountLimit = 100
Limit of amount of all effects

List of all commands

eff.Create(typename, x, y, time, amount, radius, r, g, b)

Returns effect's ID
typename (string) - CS2D effect name: "smoke" / "colorsmoke" / "flare" / "fire"
x (number) - X position in pixels of the effect on the map
y (number) - Y position in pixels of the effect on the map
time (number) - time of the effect in miliseconds; negative value means infinite time, 0 value means to draw effect once
amount (number) - amount of the effect in pixels, do not use with value higher than 100
radius (number) - radius of the effect in pixels, do not use with value higher than ~500 (lags etc.)
r (number) - value of the effect's red color
g (number) - value of the effect's green color
b (number) - value of the effect's blue color [notice that smoke and fire effects are not affected by the r,g,b parametres]

eff.Remove(id)

id (number) - effect's id to remove [0 to remove all effects]

eff.SetColor(id, r, g, b)

id (number) - effect's id
r (number) - value of the effect's red color
g (number) - value of the effect's green color
b (number) - value of the effect's blue color [notice than smoke and fire effects are not affected by the r,g,b parametres]

eff.SetAm(id, amount)

id (number) - effect's id
amount (number) - amount of the effect

eff.SetRad(id, radius)

id (number) - effect's id
amount (number) - radius of the effect

eff.SetPos(id, x, y)

id (number) - effect's id
x (number) - x position of the effect
y (number) - y position of the effect

eff.SetTime(id, time)

time (number) - time of the effect

eff.GetColor(id)

Returns RGB values of effect's color as separated numbers
id (number) - effect's id

eff.GetAm(id)

Returns amount of the effect
id (number) - effect's id

eff.GetRad(id)

Returns radius of the effect
id (number) - effect's id

eff.GetPos(id)

Returns position of the effect as separated numbers
id (number) - effect's id

eff.GetTime(id)

Returns time of the effect
id (number) - effect's id

Using

Take a look here

Effects will behave in the similar way as images do, use eff.Create function like image function:

effectvar = eff.Create("flare", player(id, "x"), player(id, "y"), 0, 50, 1, 255, 128, 0)

Otherwise, you won't be able to edit your effects (if it is needed of course). All effects are being removed on each roundstart. You have two examples to see how it works:
