Create smoke effect via trigger

[_Soletti_ 0]

For a small multiplayer mission I want the players to destroy 4 pumps via hold action. When its done there should be smoke emerging from the trigger which i moved into the pump.

smoke = "test_EmptyObjectForSmoke" createVehicle (getPos this);

I tried this command in the "on activation" box but it doesn't work. I'm not big on scripting so if someone knows a way to overcome this issue i'd be thankful for answers.

To reference a trigger object in its own OnActivation field, use "thisTrigger," not "this."

smoke = "test_EmptyObjectForSmoke" createVehicle getPos thisTrigger;

Works fine here.

For rig oil at sea, check your trigger's position (on deck or else), then use the alternate syntax:

createVehicle ["test_EmptyObjectForSmoke",getPosATL thisTrigger, [],0,"none"];

SmokObj = "SmokeShellred" createvehicle ((thisTrigger) ModelToWorld [0,0,0]);
