BIS Bullet effect (Puff of smoke)

[smiley nick 51]

Not sure if this can be done, but the standard BIS bullet effect when it hits a object is a bit subject to say the least, is there anyway to change this?, or does anyone know the location of this effect, or would it be hard coded?

Any replys would be great, thanks

i am not expert in this, but i think most things are hard coded.

yet you can edit certain aspect. sorry for such vague informations  

what you also can do is to add a script to a bullet/rocket and make your own additional effect

Hi

Yeh the 2nd option you said about editing the effect might be the only option, but with the script trying to calculate each bullet and hit point could make it rather laggy.

I was speaking to Neph, and she said it could be located in the main ofp cpp. So i need to have a look in there.

Thanks for the reply

Hi,

Yeah you can change a bunch of settings in the cfgcloudlets.

and especially these following lines :

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

{

access=3

cloudletAlpha="(0.25+random 0.35)";

cloudletColor[]={0.593000,0.570000,0.508000,"0.4+random 0.4"};

cloudletDuration="0.5+(random 1.5)";

cloudletAnimPeriod="0.5+random 1.5";

cloudletGrowUp="(0.25+random 1.75)";

cloudletFadeIn=0

cloudletFadeOut="0.25+random 0.25";

cloudletAccY="-0.25+random 2.5";

cloudletMinYSpeed="-1+random 5";

cloudletMaxYSpeed="14+random 10";

cloudletShape="cl_basic";

cloudletSize="2.5+(random 3)";

density="(0.22 + random 0.78)";

interval="(0.015+random 0.05)";

initYSpeed="1.5+random 0.75";

initT=0

deltaT=1000

class Table

{

class T0

{

maxT=0

color[]={0.353000,0.320000,0.268000,0.250000};

};

class T1

{

maxT=400

color[]={0.453000,0.420000,0.368000,0.150000};

};

class T2

{

maxT=8000

color[]={0.493000,0.470000,0.408000,0.050000};

};

};

size="1.5+(random 2.75)";

sourceSize="0.5+random 0.25";

timeToLive="(0.75+random 1.75)";

};

try this perhaps ..

the effect i am thinking of is a bit more movie style , when an auto fires the target area disapears in a cloud of dust

well you can calculate the first bullets point of impact and then instead of trying to catch every one after that , maybe just catch every 10 or so .. and if enough rounds hit within the same given area it generates a dust cloud effect at that point .

dunno .. i could throw ideas out all day and most would be utter cack

its possible they did in it in the war games mod

yes but have you seen how laggy that can be in large fire fights
