fire that ends after 1 minute

[dlegion 98]

hi all!
i've a problem with fire....seems i cant stop it form working !
i've a script that uses       " test_EmptyObjectForFireBig "        effect    and smoke too  with          "test_EmptyObjectForSmokeBig ",
the problem is that i wish it to end after 1 minute (or a selectable time around 1 to 5 minutes).
any idea how do this ? there is another fire/smoke that auto-ends after some time?
thanks guys !

There's a splendid example in the deleteVehicle wiki page, exactly what you're looking for.

thanks man ! gonna try it now !

ok i'm reading this.....but not sure to have understood.....or how merge with my script.
here is the code :

i think i'm in the same situation.....i need to delete the fire and smoke....and  "emitters"  ??
i'm not very good with code....i fear i need a help on this :(
thanks !

Later in 1.71 dev and 1.72 stable you should be able to delete fire object without hassle

[dlegion 98]

Nice ! Good news !!

Was just for optimization....but turns out a bit more difficult than i expected !!

right now what should i do exactly to terminate that fire after x time ?

Thanks !

In your script you attach these troublesome fire objects to your vehicle.

Therefor you need to add an eventhandler to the vehicle that deletes the fire after 60 seconds or whatever time you want.

So in the end of your script put:

_veh addMPEventHandler ["MPkilled",{

	_sleep = _this spawn {

		params ["_veh"];
		sleep 5;

		{

			_obj = _x;
			_emitters = _obj getvariable ["effects",[]];

			{deletevehicle _x} forEach _emitters;

			if (isServer) then {deletevehicle _x};

		} forEach attachedObjects _veh;
	};
}];

You might experience the burning effect is still there, but that's just the regular fire from the vehicle, the emitters from the big fire objects will be deleted.

Adjust the 5 to any time you want, anything above 60 seconds should do fine.

huge thanks man !!
it works perfectly !! really thanks, i will study your code to try learn something !!
thanksssssss

forEach attachedObjects

Actually that would not delete the light source. Never mind because the global fix is coming.

Tested it in the editor before posting.

Tested it right now at night, no lights or emitters left. All deleted.

Ah yeah sorry, didn't notice you are deleting all stored in variable effects instead of all attached effects. Then yes, all will go.

[dlegion 98]

It works it works, thanks guys !!!

_myobject getvariable "effects" doesn't return anything, nor does allvariables have that variable.

Has this been removed?

No they are still referenced, although they do now delete themselves( not so sure they originally did ).

_obj = createVehicle [ "test_EmptyObjectForFireBig", player getPos[10, getDir player], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE" ];
hint str ( _obj getVariable[ "effects", [] ] );

Will hint back the array of emitters.

That works on the test object, but on vehicles destroyed in the mission, it doesn't. I still get empty array back
