Map:Cze & Peku

Frosted ice overlay with depth, veins, sheen, and highlight controls.

Environmental filters change the Scene surface or atmosphere. They can cover the full Scene, be limited to Regions, and be moved within the effect stack.

Important controls

• Opacity: Controls the overall opacity of the ice treatment. Lower values preserve more of the original map.
• Scale: Changes the size of the ice, frost, and vein pattern. Higher values create broader frozen features.
• Frost Strength: Controls how much cloudy frost appears over the ice.
• Water Strength: Controls how visible the moving water layer is beneath the ice.
• Reflection Strength: Controls how strongly the scene is reflected in the ice.
• Reflection Fresnel: Controls how strongly the reflection increases toward glancing viewing angles and surface edges.

Setup notes

• Ice, Frost, Water, Sheen, and Reflection are separate visual layers and can be tuned one group at a time.
• Reflection Distance, Reflection Blur, and Reflection Fresnel have a larger readability impact than tint alone.

Direct-effect API example

The Direct Effect API creates a separate row shown through Manage API Effects. Add a stable apiMacro_…_p or apiMacro_…_f ID when later macro calls need to update or stop the same row.

const created = await FXMASTER.api.effects.play({
  filters: [{
    "id": "apiMacro_wikiice_f",
    "type": "ice",
    "options": {
      "belowTokens": false,
      "strength": 1
    }
  }],
});

await FXMASTER.api.effects.filters.stop(created.filters);

For complete API behavior, scene targeting, stack ordering, and toggle groups, see the Direct Effect API guide.
