D.murphy man 0 Posted July 20, 2003 Hey all, As i understand the drop command can be used to make particles and nice effects,Such as fountians ect.. Now i was playing with the CoC topedoes (very nice nuke ) and i notice that when the torpedoe explodes it creates some water spray effect,witch i presume was created useing drop command. Now i was woundering if any one who knows how to use the drop command to create very realistic muddy gritty explosions with bits of grass and mud get throwen high up in the sky and stuff(Saving Private rhyan style)And allso maybe some big dust clouds and stuff when buildings get destroyed? Any way i think this would be pretty cool script and add a lot more 'Wow' to a mission. Thnx, Murphy Somthing i jus tohught of: Maybe you could do the same for bullets hitting the gorund as well.

iNeo 0 Posted July 20, 2003 Sounds good, hope somebody wants to do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted July 20, 2003 should be possible as the emitted particles can be modified in color and shape, although i doubt that you will be able to use different objects in one emitter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D.murphy man 0 Posted July 21, 2003 Argghh this has just confused my even more! I think ill just leave it to the experts for now,till i can find a really simple missions witch use it and i can take apart and look at. This is how i have lernt to script over the years.I find it more easy then reading tuts as i can just find it out by trial and error,and it sticks with me,instead of all the infomation be told to me at the same time. Any way thnx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skul 0 Posted July 22, 2003 Go through the tutorial really slow and do everything it says. That's how I learned camera scripts... At the time of writing this, I haven't read the drop tute... I'm gonna read it and I bet I'll come back and eat my words about making all scripts easier by reading them carefully! EDIT: (Half an hour later, having gone through all the tutorial mission) Mmmmm! These words sure are tasty! [Gareth Gates must die] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
