Custom coloured smoke shells

[Intercityboy 3]

Hey all, I'm currently working on a project, but this is my first time modding arma (and the first time having to code anything in to any game)
I have working examples for unit and outfits, but the next thing I'm on to is custom coloured smoke grenades, I started writing a config but then i noticed in game the blue shell, for example has a line; "effectsSmoke = "SmokeShellBlueEffect";" rather than an RGB that I expected.
Naturally, that completely stumped me. Do I have to create my own "SmokeShell___Effect" or can it by changed by adding an Init into the config somewhere?
as of yet I have no code worth showing, just shedding some light on it would more than appreciated!
 

tl;dr; How do I make custom coloured smoke grenades?
Thanks, Sam

For anyone interested in doing the same or anyone still willing to help I've made a simple code simply for the purpose of this grenade, it shows up as an item that can be linket to a character but it doesnt appear in the arsenal, and cannot be thrown, if anyone could share some further light it would be greatly appreciated.

class CfgPatches
{};


class CfgAmmo
{
  class GrenadeHand;
  class SmokeShellBlue;

  class SmokesShellAN: SmokeShellBlue
  {
     smokeColor[] = {0.8,0.8,1,1};
  };

};

class CfgMagazines
{
  class HandGrenade;
  class SmokeShell;

  class SmokeShellAN: SmokeShell
  {
    ammo = "SmokeShellAN";
    displayName = "Smoke Grenade (AN)";
  };
};

If anyone happens across this thread, I solved the issue;
 

class cfgAmmo;
{
 class SmokeShellBlue;
  {
  class smokeshelllightblue: SmokeShellBlue
   {
	smokeColor[] = {0.1,0.5,1,1};
   };
 };
};

class cfgMagazines
 {
 class SmokeShellBlue;
  {
  	class smokeshelllightblue_mag: SmokeShellBlue
	{
		author = "Nth Engine";
		ammo = "smokeshellanlightblue";
		descriptionShort = "Type: Smoke Grenade - Light Blue<br />Rounds: 1<br />Used in: Hand";
		displayName = "Smoke Grenade (Light Blue)";
		displayNameShort = "Light Blue Smoke";
	};
  };
 };

class cfgWeapons
 {
 class GrenadeLauncher;
  {
  class Throw: GrenadeLauncher
    {
	muzzles[] += {"SmokeShellLightBlue_Throw"};
	class ThrowMuzzle;
	class SmokeShellLightBlue_Throw : ThrowMuzzle
	{
			magazines[] = {"smokeshelllightblue_mag"};
	};
  };
 };

hope this helps anyone in the future

You can further edit the 'smoke' particle effect (density, lifetime, air friction or basicly anything) patching/editing it's subclass in cfgParticles as well if you need.
