arma3 Toxic Gas Grenades

[Mokey II 5]

Taking inspiration Tear Gas Scripts, I decided to make a script a while back to blur vision and deal damage over time. I've used it in my wasteland Server for over 2 years and many other servers are using it too.
ONLY WORKS ON PLAYERS! AI ARE NOT EFFECTED BY THE GAS!
However, AI can still throw the toxic gas grenades

 

Directions:

 

 

Code:

init.sqf

//Toxic Gas Grenades
[] execVM "addons\ToxicGasGrenades\ToxicGas.sqf";

Thank you MokeyII (DayZ) for this script !

[Crielaard 435]

Idea:

 

use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setSuppression to make it have some effect on AI. 

[Mokey II 5]

This actually isn't a bad Idea...

Thanks, will add.

[D. Ford 0]

Really like the script, any chance to make this work against AI?

[joostsidy 685]

Why is the spawn part included twice in the script?
