Constructor

# new DuAEPseudoEffect(binaryFile)

Constructs a Pseudo Effect.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
binaryFile DuBinary The ffx file encoded as a DuBinary.
Note that the pseudo effect's matchName must start with "Pseudo/".
Properties:
Name Type Description
name string The default (localized) name
matchName string The matchName
valid boolean * Will be false if the ffx can't be correctly parsed.
Note that an invalid pseudo effect can still be applied (if the file exists), but the new effect may not be returned,
or the DuAEPseudoEffect.props Object may be empty.
file File The ffx file.
props Object An object containing information about the properties of the effect, which can be used to generate expressions.
Access properties with their names, using the group hierarchy.
The info available for each property depends on the original pseudo effect, but there's at least the type and the index of the property.
