how to make vehicles never stop being on fire.

[anusmangler 1]

I want my vehicles that i have from the start exploding to never stop being on fire or smoking....can this be done? I have them start with 0 heath/armor and have the set vehicle damage modual set to 1 for extra insurance that they explode. But after about 2-4 mins the fire and smoke fizzle out and the "effect" is lost. please help Im sure its a simple thing. thanks in advanced

See cobra's post below. More efficient that mine.

Just found out: adding

this setdamage 1; this setdamage 0; this setdamage 1;

to the init-line produces an already burnt out vehicle (destroyed, blackened, without any fire).

Placed into the vehicles init:

smokeHere = "test_EmptyObjectForSmoke" createVehicle (getPos this);
smokeHere attachTo [this,[0,1,0]];

im pretty sure there is still the BIS_fnc_burn that spawns a fire with smoke based on what parameters you give it, look in the functions viewer for the actual name (i might be wrong on name)

How dare you replace Tactical Bacon! No more BIS_Effects_Burn or such scripts (no burn.sqf in a3\data_f\ParticleEffects\SCRIPTS\destruction) in A3 sadly. There is however BIS_effectPlankton which sounds AWESOME.

LOL, I swear I saw a script for making fire, if I find it again I will post it. Mmmmmmm tactical bacon in a can.
