Explosion effects

[korzon 0]

Shels, rockets explosions all of them looks in game the same, like explosion of fuel cannister or gas bottle. Is there any method to make them realistic (cloud of grey dust etc)?

How to edit explosion effects?

[Guest jacobaby]

Standard answer, you cant.

Better answer, if you can get hold of the shell/rocket whatever you can do what you like.

Script a good explosion and then call the script when the particular shell explodes.

I posted a topic some time back "does my bomb look big in this?" with some explosions I did, also you could check the FAQ to see if Avon still has my napalm video hosted.

use eventhandlers and nearest object to get hold of the item

It's an other way to do that with your CPP try that line in CfgVehicle of your model :

Do you meen this ?

[Guest jacobaby]

Yes if you are willing to make a new explosion model you can use that in a script.

[korzon 0]

Thank you all

I thinked about solution working globaly in the game.

If this is impossible I will try modify explosion in addon.

Anyway standard explosions will still look like from "Rambo" class films.

[Bullz_eye_on_my_back 0]

Hmmm...not to bring up an old thread, but that picture you had a link to...is that a real screen picture from OFP or is it just a doctored up photo to look like it came out of OFP?

I'm trying to create my own explosion and burn script for a new addon of mine. If that's a real screen shot then whew...I just need to find the person who made that instead of trying to reinvent the wheel

[Totmacher 0]

Oh sorry i havent seen this thread and yes Bullz_eye_on_my_back its real an ingame shoot there are no edits on the screen. For a long time ago i had made some new partikles like this one   .

[Bullz_eye_on_my_back 0]

wow....where in the world can i get that then??? it would be perfect for one of my addons to be completed really soon....

Sorry, I thought this thread was dead and haven't been back to check on a response...

if there is anyway or place I can get that, I would be the happiest modeller around!!!
