Burning wrecks

[dave317 0]

In a mission im making i want to have a few bmp and uh60 wrecks already burning. In the editor they are under objects with inflamable and inflamable/blast next to them but they do nothing. Does this need scripting to get them to burn?

[HGuderian 0]

Put "inflame true" (without quotes) in the init of the object.

[dave317 0]

Thanks, i noticed you have to put "this inflame true" in the init or it comes up with an error message. The inflamable blast wrecks down blast at all though.

if the <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this inflame true doesn't work for you, you can always use <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this setdamage 1 for other wrecks, cars, units etc.

it still doesn't work.

any conclusion for this issue?

setpos a campfire into the wrecks

setpos a campfire into the wrecks

in my mission i need more effect then just a simple campfire

Maybe this will help.  Check the sample mission and script at this link:

http://www.ofpec.com/index.p....29103.0

For the vehicles you want to burn, set their dammage to 1 to initially destroy them (and start them burning), then run this script on them to keep them burning.

Note: This only works for objects that burn when destroyed (i.e., vehicles, ammo boxes, etc.). It wouldn't work on a house.

also it does not work on wrecks.

The idea is to work on Wrecks..

I tested it and indeed work fine for "alive" vehicles/objects, but not for Wrecks, unfortunately.

Thanks for your help anyway,

any more ideas, please?

Just create a script with the particle samples given by Colonel Sanders Lite, on the Particle effects part of the wiki.

Easy to do.

P.s.

Dont use camp fires, or you will look like a complete noob.

Don't be afraid to use a camp fire if you think it looks good. I've done it once or twice recently with good effect. Only comlpete noobs are afraid of being mistaken for what they are - noobs

Hi dave317, do you have my DMSmokeEffects addon? if so I think you could possibly use the fuel fire effect for your purposes.

In the wreck's init line, put this line in:

nul = [this, 1200] execVM "DMSmokeEffects\Scripts\Heli.sqf";

nul = [this, 1200] execVM "DMSmokeEffects\Scripts\Fireball.sqf";

changing 1200 to whatever lifetime value you like.

Or, if the fuel fire effect is overkill for your purposes then you can just call the smoke effect for tanks:

nul = [this] execVM "DMSmokeEffects\Scripts\Tank.sqf";

and if even that is overkill (it places a random smoke effect varying from low-lying drifting light smoke to tall columns of black oily smoke) then just place a car class smoke effect:

nul = [this] execVM "DMSmokeEffects\Scripts\Car.sqf";

Note that the second & third solutions here do not include fire effects, as they are written to layer over previously tweaked default fire effects. But they do provide nice atmospheric smoke for general battlefield purposes. They will also gradually burn down & fade away, then become smoldering wrecks, then fade to nothing.

Also note that it's a SP eye-candy effect too (until I enhance it) so only people with the addon will get the effect.

Just an idea, I'd guess that you need a more generic solution. (also note that I haven't tested these lines, just lifted them from the addon & adjusted for editor purposes)

can you please post that addon or script on this thread?

Could be usefull.

cheers.

I could but it would be useless as it uses custom textures in the addon file. Also it's rather big (and there's more than one) and would dominate the thread, which would be a derailment and not really helpful to Dave 317.

here is the one i use from bis

it does burn you if you go near , you can remove that if ya wish.

it works..

does it work in MP too?

EDIT: What if i want to add more smoke instead of fire, what i need to change?
