Attach Smoke to a Supply Module Crate.

[handlebar 13]

Hey,

I've search the forums, and the interwebs and have not had any luck with this. The only script I have found is

Signal = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle position _this; this allowDamage false;

All this does is create a smoke at the place the crate is made, then it falls to the ground, often 50-75 meters from where the crate lands. I have a hard time finding the supply drop and this will help immensly.

Thanks.

You can use the attachTo command.

So something like this?

Signal = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle position _this; this allowDamage false; Signal attachTo _this

I do that, smoke pops falls to the ground, along with the crate, the chute slowly falls down a minute later.

EDIT: Just read your last sentence. So the smoke grenade and the crate attach and the parachute is left unattached?

Negative,

Using the above Code I end up with nothing attach to anything, the smoke, crate and parachute all fall separate.

I would suggest using the attachedTo command before you attach the smoke. So something like this:

_parachute = attachedTo _this;
_signalAndCrate = Signal attachTo [_this];
_signalAndCrate attachTo [_parachute];

The reasoning for this is because the parachute and the crate are attached automatically.

[handlebar 13]

_parachute = attachedTo _this;  _signalAndCrate = Signal attachTo _this;  _signalAndCrate attachTo _parachute;Signal = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle position _this; this allowDamage false;

Placing this in the module crateini results in No Smoke, and crate detached from parachute.

Are you placing the square brackets like in my example? I think that it requires an array, from looking at the Wiki.

[handlebar 13]

_parachute = attachedTo _this; 
_signalAndCrate = Signal attachTo [_this];  
_signalAndCrate attachTo [_parachute]; 
Signal = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle position _this;
this allowDamage false;

This is how I have it, also there is no smoke deployed with this.

Your order is wrong. How can it attach Signal before it has been created?

Signal = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle position _this;
_parachute = attachedTo _this; 
_signalAndCrate = Signal attachTo [_this];  
_signalAndCrate attachTo [_parachute];

Praise you Mr. Copyright for your tolerance of us codedly challenged. That worked like a charm.

No worries, we were all challenged at some point.
