tpw 2315 Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Alright all? Here's another simple script that just adds foggy breath to a specified unit. This adds a lot of immersion if you're playing on a cold map like Thirsk or Namalsk, especially at night. Save the script below as you wish. The easiest way to give everyone in your group foggy breath is to put this in your init.sqf: {nul = [_x, 0.01] execvm "nameofscript.sqf" } foreach units (group player); For any other unit just put this in their init: nul = [this, 0.01] execvm "nameofscript.sqf" 0.01 = slightly foggy breath 0.1 = fairly foggy 1 = very dense fog. Use on antarctic maps! This is a very simple script, I haven't synchronised the breathing rate with the sound of breathing etc. If you like it, good. If you can think of improvements, even better! Script below // Foggy breath 20110122 private ["_unit"]; _unit = _this select 0; _int = _this select 1; //intensity of fog (0 to 1) while {alive _unit} do { sleep (2 + random 2); // random time between breaths _source = "logic" createVehicleLocal (getpos _unit); _fog = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal getpos _source; _fog setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal", 16, 12, 13,0], "", "Billboard", 0.5, 0.5, [0,0,0], [0, 0.2, -0.2], 1, 1.275, 1, 0.2, [0, 0.2,0], [[1,1,1, _int], [1,1,1, 0.01], [1,1,1, 0]], [1000], 1, 0.04, "", "", _source]; _fog setParticleRandom [2, [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0, 10]; _fog setDropInterval 0.001; _source attachto [_unit,[0,0.15,0], "neck"]; // get fog to come out of player mouth sleep 0.5; // 1/2 second exhalation deletevehicle _source; } Edited January 25, 2011 by tpw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egosa-U 10 Posted January 27, 2011 This is a very simple script, I haven't synchronised the breathing rate with the sound of breathing etc. If you like it, good. If you can think of improvements, even better! Maybe someone knows the fatiguee-values and how to read them. Since the fatigue-value increases your crosshair size..

Egosa-U 10 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Maybe it won't work because of the limitation to VBS 2. But i've searched the commands-list and found that: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/precision Still can't find anything really useful about the breathingrate/tiredness/weapon-accuracy.. I'll keep looking. Edit: Furthermore you could combine the breathing-script with the mission-time. Especially when the mission plays from dusk until night, the enabling of Breath Fog would increase the atmosphere. Edited January 28, 2011 by Egosa-U Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Egosa-U 10 Posted January 30, 2011 I tried now to combine the fog with the mission-time, but haven't got that much experience with sqf-scripting :( . I tried to define on which times the fog should be dense and when not. Basically I setup the following times: From 0am to 3am : dense fog from 3am to 6am : less dense fog from 6am to 6pm: nofog from 6pm to 20pm: less dense fog and from 20pm to 24pm: dense fog So i expanded the code with additional parameters, but can't get it to work. I think it may have something to do with passing the _int parameter. Additionally, it should continue checking the time to make sure the fog-density is right. Hoping, someone can help...

tpw 2315 Posted February 2, 2011 That would be great! I haven't thought of the possibility to go along with the sun. OK, here's the weay I do it.

semedar 0 Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Sorry to revive this thread, but how do you set the breath (fog) to dissapear faster? In my mission I have: setWind [0,10, true]; And the breath looks like it's ejecting out of the player at maximum speed in a straight line. :rolleyes: Edit: Hah, nevermind. Figured it out by counting how long the fog was alive for and turned out to be ~2. So I looked for something that equaled "2" and it's here: _fog setParticleRandom [2, [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0, 10]; Just change the 2 to something like: _fog setParticleRandom [[color="Red"].1[/color], [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0, 10]; Edited December 6, 2011 by Semedar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b1944 10 Posted December 14, 2011 Hi I really like this script and I have just put into one of my missions. The problem is however that we need "INSTANT" respawn but after a player respawns foggy breath is gone. The script is referred to in init.sqf. I have also tried to put it in the init field of the playable units but the script is only started once. Do you have any idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpw 2315 Posted December 15, 2011 Hi b1944 I never use MP so have never had to think about this. There is probably a way to specify the script in the init field of a newly spawned unit, I just don't know enough about it to help you. I'm sure one of the other scripting rocket scientists on this forum can help you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

falcon_565 11 Posted January 23, 2012 Hey guys! I was kicking around making something like this for one of my missions and I decided to go for it. This script adds breath condensation to all units. The particles are created locally on each client so there is very little network traffic. I've included a version that has ACRE functionality so you can see condensation when people are talking. Should be 100% JIP, respawn compatible (also dead people don't breath ;) Although I didn't test it with respawn). I think I'll throw in ACE stamina at some point when I feel like it but it shouldn't be too hard to add if your up for it. Major props to Nou for some help with the per frame event handler. You can change the drop interval ( _fog setDropInterval (0.01-random(0.005)); ) and particle color ( [[1,1,1, (.01+random(.03))], [1,1,1, 0.01], [1,1,1, 0]], ) to get the effect you want To run add something like this to the init.sqf if (!isDedicated) then { [] execVM "scripts\breath.sqf"; }; ACRE Version: //Adds Condensation to Units (ACRE) //By Falcon (Original by tpw) //Last Updated 23.01.2012 private ["_unit","_int","_nextTime", "_source", "_mylogic", "_fog"]; sleep 5; my_breath_func = { { _unit = _x; if(alive _unit) then { _nextTime = _unit getVariable ["myNextBreathTime", -1]; if(_nextTime == -1) then { _unit setVariable ["myNextBreathTime", diag_tickTime + (1+random(3))]; _source = "logic" createVehicleLocal (getpos _unit); _unit setVariable ["myBreathingParticleLogic", _source]; if(_unit == player) then {_source attachto [_unit,[0,0.1,.04], "neck"];} else {_source attachto [_unit,[0,0.05,-0.08], "pilot"];}; _unit setVariable ["myBreathingParticleSource", nil]; }; _myParticleSource = _unit getVariable ["myBreathingParticleSource", nil]; if(diag_tickTime >= _nextTime || (([_unit] call acre_api_fnc_isSpeaking) && isNil "_myParticleSource")) then { if (isNil "_myParticleSource") then { _unit setVariable ["myNextBreathTime", diag_tickTime + 0.5]; _mylogic = _unit getVariable "myBreathingParticleLogic"; _fog = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal (getpos _mylogic); _fog setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal", 16, 12, 13,0], "", "Billboard", 0.5, 0.5, [0,0,0], [0, 0.0, -0.3], 1, 1.275, 1, 0.2, [0, 0.2,0], [[1,1,1, (.01+random(.03))], [1,1,1, 0.01], [1,1,1, 0]], //Change (.01+random(.03)) for different effect 0 (less) 1 (more) [1000], 1, 0.04, "", "", _mylogic]; _fog setParticleRandom [2, [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0, 10]; _fog setDropInterval (0.01-random(0.005)); //change drop interval for particle density 0.001 (most dense) -> .999 (least dense) _unit setVariable ["myBreathingParticleSource", _fog]; } else { if(!([_unit] call acre_api_fnc_isSpeaking)) then { _unit setVariable ["myNextBreathTime", diag_tickTime + (2+random(3))]; deletevehicle (_unit getVariable "myBreathingParticleSource"); _unit setVariable ["myBreathingParticleSource", nil]; }; }; }; } else { _unit setVariable ["myNextBreathTime", -1]; deletevehicle (_unit getVariable "myBreathingParticleLogic"); deletevehicle (_unit getVariable "myBreathingParticleSource"); }; } forEach allUnits; }; [my_breath_func, 0.1] call cba_fnc_addPerFrameHandler; Non-ACRE Version: //Adds Condensation to Units (Non-ACRE) //By Falcon (Original by tpw) //Last Updated 23.01.2012 private ["_unit","_int","_nextTime", "_source", "_mylogic", "_fog"]; sleep 5; my_breath_func = { { _unit = _x; if(alive _unit) then { _nextTime = _unit getVariable ["myNextBreathTime", -1]; if(_nextTime == -1) then { _unit setVariable ["myNextBreathTime", diag_tickTime + (1+random(3))]; _source = "logic" createVehicleLocal (getpos _unit); _unit setVariable ["myBreathingParticleLogic", _source]; if(_unit == player) then {_source attachto [_unit,[0,0.1,.04], "neck"];} else {_source attachto [_unit,[0,0.05,-0.08], "pilot"];}; _unit setVariable ["myBreathingParticleSource", nil]; }; _myParticleSource = _unit getVariable ["myBreathingParticleSource", nil]; if(diag_tickTime >= _nextTime) then { if (isNil "_myParticleSource") then { _unit setVariable ["myNextBreathTime", diag_tickTime + 0.5]; _mylogic = _unit getVariable "myBreathingParticleLogic"; _fog = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal (getpos _mylogic); _fog setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal", 16, 12, 13,0], "", "Billboard", 0.5, 0.5, [0,0,0], [0, 0.0, -0.3], 1, 1.275, 1, 0.2, [0, 0.2,0], [[1,1,1, (.01+random(.03))], [1,1,1, 0.01], [1,1,1, 0]], //Change (.01+random(.03)) for different effect 0 (less) 1 (more) [1000], 1, 0.04, "", "", _mylogic]; _fog setParticleRandom [2, [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0, 10]; _fog setDropInterval (0.01-random(0.005)); //change drop interval for particle density 0.001 (most dense) -> .999 (least dense) _unit setVariable ["myBreathingParticleSource", _fog]; } else { _unit setVariable ["myNextBreathTime", diag_tickTime + (2+random(3))]; deletevehicle (_unit getVariable "myBreathingParticleSource"); _unit setVariable ["myBreathingParticleSource", nil]; }; }; } else { _unit setVariable ["myNextBreathTime", -1]; deletevehicle (_unit getVariable "myBreathingParticleLogic"); deletevehicle (_unit getVariable "myBreathingParticleSource"); }; } forEach allUnits; }; [my_breath_func, 0.1] call cba_fnc_addPerFrameHandler; -Falcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
