Smoke script

SeaCow52

I could use some help with a smoke script.

Like in the Ash and Trash SP scenario, I'd like to make a mission and have a smoke signal to locate troops. Just a standard smoke grenade script in a trigger only lasts so long (_smoke="SmokeShellRed" createVehicle getpos p1😉 but in Ash and Trash, it seems to be perpetual.

@SeaCow52 I haven't done Ash and Trash, but for persistent smoke on an object, I place this in the Init of the object (wreck, hut, rubble, etc.):

TheObject = "test_EmptyObjectForSmoke" createVehicle position this;
TheObject attachTo[this,[0,1.5,-1]];

For persistent fire:

TheObject = "test_EmptyObjectForFireBig" createVehicle position this;
TheObject attachTo[this,[0,1.5,-1]];

Now I am thinking you are talking about persistent colored smoke: have you tried the Smoke Grenade module under Systems (F5) / Effects...enable permanent effect?

[MENTION=1134]Soapbox0331[/MENTION] Tnx, I'll try those.

No, I have not tried the module. I will give that a try too because that is what I am looking for. I didn't know about the module.
