Aircraft hit effect

[DSabre 2332]

Anyone good with particles who can help me?

I am working on a script that gives visual feedback when hitting another aircraft.

I used the rock shower as template https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ParticleTemplates

My plane emits stuff when hit, all fine. The issue I have is it won't stop. I want to make it emit things for 1-2 seconds. not a minute : (

Any ideas? Do I have to make my own emitter thingy to get access to the emitter lifetime  - and if so how would that work?

 

 Already obsolete : )

Thx to Yax for help

 

Code:

Spoiler

 

// in your aircraft config add this to the eventhandlers and use my secretweapons addon, or make your own script-copy and change the path
	
class EventHandlers	{dammaged = "[_this select 0] execvm 'sab_secretweapons\scripts\hiteffect.sqf';";};	


// make a hpp file and copy/paste the stuff below. call it hiteffect.sqf

// ----- Aviation HitEffect script by [Dust]Sabre - free to use, have fun - many thanks to Yax for scripting help -----

private ["_plane","_particles"];
_plane = _this select 0;

if !(local _plane) exitwith {};

if (alive _plane) then {

	 if (player in _plane) then {addCamShake [0.5, 0.5, 10]; player vehicleChat "We got hit!";}; 
	_particles = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
	_particles attachTo [_plane,[0,0,0]];
	_particles setParticleCircle [0, [0, 0, 0]];
	_particles setParticleRandom [1, [2, 2, 1], [0.25, 0.25, 0], 0, 0.1, [0, 0, 0, 0], 0, 0];
	_particles setParticleParams [["\A3\data_f\ParticleEffects\Shard\shard4.p3d",1,0,1,0], "", "SpaceObject", 1, 10, [0, 0, 0], [0, 0, -2], 1, 10, 0.1, 0.1, [2, 2], [[1, 1, 1 ,1], [1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1]], [0, 1], 1, 0, "", "", _plane];
	_particles setDropInterval 0.1;
	sleep 1;
	deleteVehicle _particles;
	
     //   [_particles] spawn {sleep 1; deleteVehicle (_this # 0);}

};

sleep 0.5;

 

 

 

 

 

Don't mind the particle model. Once it works I will make a nicer one.
