Dust effect

[FriZY_SK 9]

Hi,

Could you tell me how i modify dust effect when tank shooting from cannon? I want to reduce this effect because its created too big dust cloud considering size of cannon (40mm)

check Maddmatt ArmA Effects mod

or find "tank dust" in config and resize what you want/

Thx u very much for your advice.So i have found something .

class CfgCloudlets

{

class Default {

interval[] = {"interval",0.500000,0.500000 };

circleRadius = 0;

circleVelocity[] = {0,0,0 };

particleShape = "\ca\cl_basic.p3d";

particleFSNtieth = 1;

particleFSIndex = 0;

particleFSFrameCount = 1;

particleFSLoop = 1;

angle = 0;

angleVar = 0;

animationName = "";

particleType = "Billboard";

timerPeriod = 1;

lifeTime[] = {0,1 };

moveVelocity[] = {0,0,0 };

rotationVelocity = 1;

weight = 1;

volume = 1;

rubbing = 0.050000;

size[] = {1,1 };

color[] = {{1,1,1,1 } };

animationSpeed[] = {1 };

randomDirectionPeriod = 0;

randomDirectionIntensity = 0;

onTimerScript = "";

beforeDestroyScript = "";

lifeTimeVar = 0;

positionVar[] = {0,0,0 };

MoveVelocityVar[] = {0,0,0 };

rotationVelocityVar = 0;

sizeVar = 0;

colorVar[] = {0,0,0,0 };

randomDirectionPeriodVar = 0;

randomDirectionIntensityVar = 0;

};

};

};

You probably means this, isnt? So, I will try it when i will at home.

yes

as i think correctly "tankdust1" is ground shock dust

then "tankdust2" is cannon dust

or contrary))

just check))

Other things to be aware of:

You can set this effect per vehicle (under its class in cfgVehicles). I think its something like FDustEffect = "..."; or FireDustEffect = "...";

Whatever is in quotations is the combined effect (class FDustEffect, I think), which refers to the two classes mentioned above, in cfgCloudlets. I'm sorry if this explanation is a bit poor, I'm not on my Arma machine to check anything.

Also, I'm pretty sure it only works for tanks. I tried it with cars and static weapons w/o much success.

PS: Frizy, feel free to e-mail me or message me if you have questions. Like I said, I've gone though this already w/ I44, and I'd be happy to help you.

Thx guys.

I already used FireDustEffect wich i found in config (cfgVehicle) of weapons.pbo for M119 but without success

So I will try it again today or through weekend.
