Creating and deleting ModuleEffectsFire_F

[Lucky44 13]

How should I create a ModuleEffectsFire_F via scripting? 

 

I tried

"ModuleEffectsFire_F" createVehicle getMarkerPos "marker1";

but that did nothing. Similarly, deleteVehicle doesn't work on the module. How should this be done?

_logicCenter = createCenter sideLogic;
_logicGroup = createGroup _logicCenter;
_myLogicObject = _logicGroup createUnit ["ModuleEffectsFire_F", [posX,posY,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

_myLogicObject setVariable ["ColorRed",0.5,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["ColorGreen",0.5,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["ColorBlue",0.5,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["Timeout",0,true]; // time in sec 0 for never ending
_myLogicObject setVariable ["ParticleLifeTime",0.6,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["ParticleDensity",25,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["ParticleSize",1,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["ParticleSpeed",1,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["EffectSize",1,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["ParticleOrientation",0,true];
_myLogicObject setVariable ["FireDamage",1,true];

you can adjust the default values if needed. If not just skip setvariable part

Thanks. I didn't think createUnit would work (and didn't try it!).

 

 

Any ideas about how to delete these effects modules?

_myLogicObject setVehicleVarName "myLogic";

deleteVehicle myLogic;

Dont forget to delete the effects aswell.

_myLogicObject setVehicleVarName "myLogic";
//....
//Sometime later
//....
_group = group myLogic
{
	deleteVehicle _x;	
}forEach [
	myLogic getVariable "effectEmitter",
	myLogic getVariable "effectLight",
	myLogic
];
if ( count units _group isEqualTo 0 ) then {
	deleteGroup _group;
};

Please correct the errors here. I'd like to use this to set an object on fire for about 10 seconds as part of the code executed by line 8 of bis_fnc_holdActionAdd. Object is named 'barrel1'. Thanks.

_logicGroup = createGroup _logicCenter;
_myLogicObject = _logicGroup createUnit ["ModuleEffectsFire_F", [posX,posY,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
