Is it possible to

[USMC Sniper 0]

Say I wanted a napalm dropping plane. So I would make the script, put it into a pbo with my addon, and in the cpp designate that whenever the bombs were dropped, they would cause a napalm effect when they detonated.

You could do something like that with using the "fired" event from the config I guess...

Well im not going to do a napalm script just to show how to do it

But here's how I did a BMP with a smoke generator, something a bit similar...

Basically how it works, is that there is a dummy weapon named "KEGSmokeGenerator" in the BMP, which doesnt actualyl fire anything. Instead, the "fired" event has the if, which checks which weapon was fired, and if it was the smoke generator, it executes the "drop" command which generates a puff of smoke.
