dust stick on moving stuff ON islands?

[eestikas88 0]

Is there a script what makes dust stick on moving stuff (like cars),so they would look dirty after moving some time?

i'm too bad to make something like that.

The answer is simple and short: no.

but is it possible?

But it's not that hard tho - just don't wash your hands for

a few days - spend some time outside and practice the

'handstand'.

Then go to your pc and clean your hands on the monitor ->

voilla - best dirt textures seen ever

Nah - seriously - off course addon makers could implement

hidden selections onto their vehicles, which would pop up

due to lifetime of the vehicle (by a script, being started

automatically), but this would mean a lot of scripts in case

of a lot of vehicles running in background.

More complicated it would become if you want to have the

correct dirt in relation to kind of terrain popping up - nearly

impossible to be done.

:edit - btw - i think with answering your first post, Gandalf

already answered your second one - didn't he?

To get this to true effect, the game would need to support full decals which I don't think it does. However, you can do a kinda cheap version of this as said above if an addonmaker has a script that changes the texture from clean to dirty after some time.

Nah - the script i would say is not the question here - look:

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

~1200

blabla setobjecttexture .....

~1200

blabla setobjecttexture ......

~bla

bla bla bla

...

bla

The point is: the vehicles need to get some hidden selection

faces, where the dirt textures will be shown.

Possible? Probably. Worth it? Definatly not. Its too much work and would just double the file size of addons and probably create unnecessary lag.

[eestikas88 0]

thank you.

well the dirt would be as ugly as everywhere else on earth,brown and dirty ,well to make it simple it should add like some dirt after

like 50 m driving (?) and so on,like after every 50 m some new textures would be added to car,and after 500m(?) the car is dirty enough.

Unless the vehicle just came from a washing lane it would already have dirt on it. Suprising enough there is no washing lane addon for OFP, so it would be... "not worth it"

But there is this ofp-disaster mod, which could for sure lend

a helping fire truck with some water pipe attached

eestikas - 50 - 500 meters shouldn't be worth some extra work

- really mate

Then it would be better to have everything dirty already, and

nobody would get the idea to ask for interactive dirt

In most cases you would use holy cpu resources for something

that won't be seen by anybody -> imagine 10 vehicles in a

mission - one driven by the player - 9 by ai => 10 scripts

Player would say - "wow my vehicle gets more and more dirty"

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

AI would say: " "

And who do you think will take all those yet released vehicle

addons - and change all to be used with those hidden selections?

You hear right - each addon would need to be remade seperately - or you create a two-class war

alright it's useless but i only wanted to know if its possible like that,or theres a limitation again.

[Chris Death 0]

Well, then i think your question is answered now.

It is possible - i explained you how - and it's not possible

with only a script like you were asking for - it needs some

lot of more work -> to much work worth to be done.

cant you do it like with the fuel or something... like Fuel is low statement but then ahh never mind just an idea...

[eestikas88 0]

cmon tell us

[Chris Death 0]

cmon tell us

eestikas - stop plz

he meant that instead of time or distance, we should

use the fuel-status to indicate, wether there should be

dirt or not

This means that a vehicle, starting with half fuel, would

also be starting half dirty, and a vehicle with full fuel would

start clean, and a vehicle with setfuel 0 would start - well

with a nice camo scheme.

I explained you how it works, there's no other way to do it -

pointless, which method you use to determine how long the

vehicle has been present/driving/standing or whatever.
