To get several effects using the same gani script there are probably two says:
1. make the gani script being restarted, this can be done by setting the attr[] to "" and then setting the value again (it should be sent again and restart the script if it's not a CONTINUOUS gani, although I have not tested this fully yet)
2. store the actual data that should be displayed into another attr[] and in the gani script check if that data is changed and display another text or effect, let the gani script check for new data until it is removed (by using a 0.05 seconds timeout or so)

Can you display text with emitters? If so, how then?
