The stuff you use is more similar to this: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Special_effects
However using those requires an api that links to the raw engine so for me to be able to use everything I would need to talk directly to the engine: we are talking about literally hours of programing per line. Could literally take days to get working, however I already have run across some cool ideas that may be faster to implement.
More logically I have access to these prebuilt effects:

I should point out there may be more temp effects avalable now post OB update but I would need a dump from sm_print_telist
