XianGrim 73 Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Just a little effect I was working on for a mission. I learned sqf back in Arma 2 days so if its ugly code, my bad lol You may need to view it in fullscreen to see the "glass hitting the ground" part of it. HUGE, HUGE shoutout to @aliascartoons for all of his work on particles and such. Without his work, I wouldn't have understood how to do any of this. Spoiler Lightlist = ["Lamps_base_F","Land_LampStreet_small_F","Land_LampStreet_F","Land_LampDecor_F","Land_LampHalogen_F","Land_LampHarbour_F","Land_LampShabby_F","Land_fs_roof_F"]; xian_GroundSparks_fnc = { private _sparkSource = _this select 0; private _sparkPos = position _sparkSource; private _xvalue = ((random 2)+0.6); private _yvalue = ((random 2)+0.6); private _zvalue = 0; private _spark = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0]; _spark setParticleCircle [0, [0, 0, 0]]; _spark setParticleRandom /*LifeTime*/ [6, /*Position*/ [0,0,0], /*MoveVelocity*/ [_xvalue,_yvalue,_zvalue], /*rotationVel*/ 30, /*Scale*/ 0.25, /*Color*/ [0,0,0,1], /*randDirPeriod*/ 0.50, /*randDirIntesity*/ 0.50, /*Angle*/ 30]; _spark setParticleParams [["\A3\data_f\cl_water", 1, 0, 1], "", "Billboard", 1, 3, [0.10, 0, 3.25],[(random 0.50),(random 0.50),-2], 500, 1050, 7.9, 0.1, [0.10,0.10], [[0.75,0.75,1, 1], [0.75,0.75,1,1]], [0.16], 0, 0, "", "", _sparkSource,0,false,0.20,[[0,0,0,1]]]; _spark attachTo [_sparkSource,[0,0,0]]; _spark setDropInterval 0.005; uiSleep 0.15; deleteVehicle _spark; }; _lamps = nearestObjects [player,Lightlist,100]; { [_x,["bulb_burst",200,1]] remoteExec ["say3D",0]; {_x setHit ["light_1_hitpoint",0.99]} forEach _lamps; {_x setHit ["light_2_hitpoint",0.99]} forEach _lamps; {_x setHit ["light_3_hitpoint",0.99]} forEach _lamps; {_x setHit ["light_4_hitpoint",0.99]} forEach _lamps; [_x] spawn xian_GroundSparks_fnc; } forEach _lamps; Important note, I haven't worked out the placement of the "ground sparks" for every lamp, only the Shabby Lamp at the moment. I'll try and find time to do the others Edited July 20, 2018 by XianGrim adding another video 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XianGrim 73 Posted July 20, 2018 Added another video to see the effect better. Ignore the fact the its on the power lines and not the light fixture XD 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 3797 Posted July 20, 2018 Very cool man. I especially liked the power poles shorting out. This has great immersion potential for missions. Was the poles shorting out with electrical effect part of the script you posted above? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XianGrim 73 Posted July 20, 2018 No, the power lines were just part of the mission I made. I had positioned hidden spheres at the top of each pole and added them to an array. Then just called it spawned the function: Spoiler xian_Sparks_fnc = { _box = _this select 0; _boxPos = position _box; //Lightning Variables _animationName = ""; _particleType = "SpaceObject"; _timerPeriod = 0.25; _lifeTime = 0.12; _position = [0,0,0]; _moveVelocity = [0,0,0]; _rotationVelocity = 0; _weight = 25; _volume = 10; _rubbing = 7.9; _scale = [0.01,0.01,0.01,0]; _color = [[0.4, 0.1, 0.1, 1], [0.4, 0.25, 0.25, 0.5], [0.7, 0.5, 0.5, 0]]; _animationSpeed = [0.1]; _randomDirectionPeriod = 0; _randomDirectionIntensity = 0; _onTimerScript = ""; _beforeDestroyScript = ""; _follow = _this; _angle = 0; _onSurface = false; _bounceOnSurface = 0; _emissiveColor = [[0,0,0,1]]; //Lightning Code _s_1_elec = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal _boxPos; _s_1_elec setParticleCircle [0, [5, 0, -2]]; _s_1_elec setParticleRandom [0, [0.25, 0.25,0], [0.175, 0.175, 0], 0, 0.25, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0]; _s_1_elec setParticleParams [["\A3\data_f\blesk1",1, 0,1], _animationName,_particleType,_timerPeriod,_lifeTime,_position,_moveVelocity,_rotationVelocity,_weight,_volume,_rubbing,_scale,_color,_animationSpeed,_randomDirectionPeriod, _randomDirectionIntensity,_onTimerScript,_beforeDestroyScript,_follow,_angle,_onSurface,_bounceOnSurface,_emissiveColor]; _s_1_elec setDropInterval 0.05; _s_1_light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal _boxPos; _s_1_light setLightBrightness 1; _s_1_light setLightColor [0.8,0.8,1]; _s_1_light lightAttachObject [_box, [0,0,0]]; sleep 1.8; deleteVehicle _s_1_elec; deleteVehicle _s_1_light; }; Here's the entire "lightsout.sqf" I used for the mission.
