fireandsmoke.p3d?

[konyo 14]

Hi all. Im currently working on porting an addon over to ArmA 2 - Link here

But im having a small problem when the plane is damaged, for example when i crash it, a error message pops up saying :confused:

ca\data\particleeffects\fireandsmokeanim\smokeanim.p3d

Ive opened up the ArmA 2 Ca file, and there is no fireandsmokeanim folder after particleeffects, so im rarther stuck now, but when i open the config file within the particleeffects, i can find that excact pathway, but it dosnt show for me :/

So would anyone know what i would have to do now? What pathway would i choose? & Also where can i find that pathway in my addon, so that i can change it later on?

Thanks

The developers have reduced the available particle models in A2. I believe there is a "universal" and a basic they are frequently used. Example path:

\Ca\Data\Cl_basic.p3d

Ok, so how do i get to the path, because its not in the config?

And when i get to the path, i just type that in?

From looking at the vanilla configs, I see entries like this:

particleShape = "\ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal";

particleShape = "\ca\cl_basic.p3d";

A thought, I think you'll find it easier to get rid of any scripted "smoke" items and simply use the default fire and smoke and wreck function provided by BIS

And ill look into that now, see if it makes it any better, but the smoke dose have a nice yellow effect to it :)
