Blood Particle Effect

[Kydoimos 915]

I was wondering if anyone might have an idea about creating a blood particle effect? I can only get some particles working using the setParticleSource command. Maybe someone has an idea for a workaround? Perhaps, spawning a bullet with velocity? Just curious! Thanks in advance!

Try this:

private ["_unit","_display", "_texLower", "_texMiddle", "_texUpper", "_x", "_y", "_w", "_h"];
_unit = _this select 0;
if (_unit != player) exitWith {};

disableSerialization;
if (isnil {uinamespace getvariable "RscHealthTextures"}) then {uinamespace setvariable ["RscHealthTextures",displaynull]};
if (isnull (uinamespace getvariable "RscHealthTextures")) then {(["HealthPP_blood"] call bis_fnc_rscLayer) cutrsc ["RscHealthTextures","plain"]};
_display = uinamespace getvariable "RscHealthTextures";

_texLower = _display displayctrl 1211;//1013; //1001
_texLower ctrlsetfade 1;
_texLower ctrlcommit 0;

_texMiddle = _display displayctrl 1212;

_texMiddle ctrlcommit 0;

_texUpper = _display displayctrl 1213;

Sorry for pointing out the obvious Wiggum, but this is not a particle effect.

Cheers

Yes, thanks for the response - but I'm after the blood particle effect, please give a shout if anyone has a script! Or, alternatively, can think of a workaround!

[sttosin 67]

There is/was a "blood mist" mod for A3

[kremator 1064]

^^ I think it was called mao_blood_mist_a3.pbo

I have it in my 'always run' addon folder :)

[Kydoimos 915]

Thanks chaps, but I'm not after a mod unfortunately, just a script for the blood particle effect which can be used with vanilla settings - MANW prohibits mod use for the SP category. All the same, cheers for the response!

[IndeedPete 1038]

Open up the PBO, locate the matching script and see how they did it?

[nimrod_z 8]

its in the "bloodEffect" function. you can see it right from the function viewer.  
i remember slightly modifying it for a mod i made but honestly can't remember how different from original it is.

@Nimrod_Z - hi, thanks - but I'm after the particle effect - not the texture splash :)

@IndeedPete - not sure it'd be in the PBO - didn't see it actually used in the campaign, at least, not via a script. I could be wrong, I'll check!

Just mind that Particles can be configured a bit more complex in an addon than they can be through script commands.
