Oil Wells on Fire

[texkaz 33]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I seem to remember it has but the search provided no results. anyways, the topic is self explanitory. How do I make fields around Nasdara burn with the brightness of 1000 suns...or just lit on fire like Sadaam did in the Gulf War.

There is a great script included in the game that will do so and a lot of threads. Search for BIS_Effects_Burn and/or burn.sqf

yeah my search was bad I searched for oil well fire then oil well than oil derrick. If I had just search plain old "OIL" I woulda found the thread. Does it at all effect the atmosphere? Like how high will the smoke go up?

[twirly 11]

Why don't you try it!

[sxp2high 23]

Well its not huge, but it's OK. And there's oil spitting out on the ground which looks pretty cool...

Just play around with particle params, if that's not good enough ;)

Hmmm now all I need is a red sky and lightning with the symphony "Mars Bringer of War" in the background and i'll have a masterpiece.
