New Graphic Effect by xenom

[xenom 0]

It's a nice and interesting script, very usefull and it can be added to all units (but the script is designed for aircrafts) it can show effects of speed on water or sand, the script adds the effect to the missiles too (if the aircraft is armed with missiles).

you must call the script "MovingWater.sqs", or the script doesn't work.

for call script, add this script into the init field of the aircraft:

[this,min height of the aircraft to show the effect (m),distance between two wakes,max size of the particles] exec "MovingWater.sqs"

looks nice, i'll try it sometime when i understand putting things together, like .sqm files.

i just got the nuke to work btw, i need the editor upgrade, and its soo cool, especailly when you can get killed when i is radius!

[Commando84 0]

very cool script! Got to try this when i get home from school.

[nephilim 0]

nice one

but wasnt such a script (not completally)in vitjas effect pack?

btw the water normally splashes up in lines where the engines are ;)

anyway quite nice script

@xenom:

Looks very nice.

Just put the "water-dust" lines a little bit nearer to the engine.

but wasnt such a script (not completally)in vitjas effect pack?

Yes, if you talk about this one:

nice, but my script applies the effect to missiles too.

[Sniperwolf572 758]

Very nice script,but can you please modify it (or add an option to change where do you want the splash to appear) to be near the engines?

IMHO Adjustable setting would be better since not all aircraft have engine in the same place.

[Sniperwolf572 758]

Yeah yeah I know I figured it out right after the post while I was testing it some more,I didn't figure that the distance parameter was "the distance parameter" but the how much will the effect be behind the plane,sorry for the stupid question.

Does anybody have a picture or footage of this happening in real aircraft?

imho it would look better if so if it was barely visible, for instance with a transparency figure of 0.25 or so, and timed to fade over the droplets lifetime.

Indeed one does... just let me upload it. (I'll edit this post when i've done it)

EDIT: Here it is, sorry about the quality but meh.

very good, i will modify the script.

tnx. i will apply this effect to missiles too

[AgentFox2 0]

That's a painting, I believe.

[Lin_Chino 0]

The water effect is REAL...in REAL airplanes, (i saw it in some videos).

Está del carajo Xenom.

[Madus_Maximus 0]

Aye, I've seen it too when watching some random stuff on Discovery Wings (as you do). Very impressive, shows you the true power of those engines.

Very nice indeed. But I had a little trouble with the fired eventhandler. The stuff under the shot projectile appears, yet, as long as the shots below the height, I keep getting an error about the drop array. I can't see which part it's complaining about, though.

ok sorry

@nemesis: uhm... i will try to fix it
