Here ya go:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class Eventhandlers

{

fired = "[_this] exec ""\PBONAME\smoke.sqs""";

};

that goes in the config.cpp . Remember to replace PBONAME with the name of the PBO file your addon uses.

where does it go does it go at the end of the config file or in the wepons deffinitions section? cause ive got one for a tank killed  flame script and thats at the end of the config its just with what youve shown me itn dosent seem to link it to the weapon being fired or am i just dumb?

Like Maddog was stating ...add the eventhandlers class within your cfgvehicles for your tank.

I would do something like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class EventHandlers

{

fired="[_this select 0,_this select 4] exec ""\youraddondir\smoke.sqs""";

};

And in your smoke.sqs ...something like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

;smoke.sqs file

_tank = _this select 0

_weapon = _this select 1

? _weapon == "smoke_luancher" : goto "smoke"

exit

#smoke

(insert smoke launcher routines here)

You don't have to do anything to your cfgweapons or cfgammo for this to work.The "fired" eventhandler will run every time for each burst of any weapon (from my observations)

Just make sure your smoke routines is linked with the proper weapon name in smoke.sqs
