[edejl 0]

OK so there are only 2 topics when i search for this but can you make a smoke shell on ground and/or a flare on the ground? (without addons

i know you will have to make it inflame or whatever but what is it called and how do you add it? i will know once someone tells me!

Thanks, however that falls to the ground. I want it on the floor, by which time it puts itself out. Is there no way to stop it from falling, which will keep it lit?

Sure someone must know how to get it to stay on the ground...or is there not a way?

I worked on this for you...

It's complicated and i had to fine tune it alot!

But i worked for me.

Make a trigger named "Trig"

Suggestion:   Activation By "Radio Alpha"

On activation field:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[GetPos Trig, "Flare"] Exec "DoFlare.sqs"

FLARE.SQS

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

_PosY = (_This Select 0) Select 1

_PosZ = 25.2

_Type = _This Select 1

_PosZ_Start = 150

_NewFlareDone = False

_T = Time

_Flare = _Type CamCreate [_PosX, _PosY, _PosZ_Start]

#Loop

?(GetPos _Flare Select 2 < _PosZ_Start - 20): _Flare SetPos [_PosX, _PosY, _PosZ]

?(Time - _T > 13): Goto "NewFlare"

#DidNewFlare

?(Time - _T > 15): _Flare = _Flare2

?(Time - _T > 15): _NewFlareDone = False

?(Time - _T > 15): _T = Time

~0.001

?(Alive Player): Goto "Loop"

Exit

#NewFlare

?(!_NewFlareDone): _Flare2 = _Type CamCreate [_PosX, _PosY, _PosZ_Start]

_NewFlareDone = True

Goto "DidNewFlare"

Hope it works for you too...

BTW...

It's finetuned!

I dont know WHY i had to use Z-Height at 25.2 but the flare stays STEADY at 0.5 above ground for me...

You can Use [GetPos Trig, "FlareRed"] Exec "DoFlare.Sqs" for red flare

FlareGreen for green and so on...

Enjoy!
