Introduction

Listed on this page are several basic particle effects, that can be used as they are, or as templates for further customization.

To use these examples a variable named _OBJ has to exist, which points to an in-game object (a Game Logic, for example) to define the location of the effect.

_OBJ = GameLogicOne;

In addition, a particle source has to be defined:

_PS = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal getpos _OBJ;

After this the following commands can then be used.

BIS Burning Vehicle Fire Look-Alike

This one requires 3 particle sources, 1 for the fire and 2 smokes. They should all be attached to the same object.

Fire:

_PS1 setParticleCircle [0, [0, 0, 0]];
_PS1 setParticleRandom [0.2, [1, 1, 0], [0.5, 0.5, 0], 1, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0], 0, 0];
_PS1 setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\FireAndSmokeAnim\SmokeAnim.p3d", 8, 2, 6], "", "Billboard", 1, 1, [0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0.5], 1, 1, 0.9, 0.3, [1.5], [[1, 0.7, 0.7, 0.5]], [1], 0, 0, "", "", _obj];
_PS1 setDropInterval 0.03;

Smoke Part 1:

_PS2 setParticleCircle [0, [0, 0, 0]];
_PS2 setParticleRandom [0, [0, 0, 0], [0.33, 0.33, 0], 0, 0.25, [0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05], 0, 0];
_PS2 setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\FireAndSmokeAnim\SmokeAnim.p3d", 8, 0, 1], "", "Billboard", 1, 10, [0, 0, 0.5], [0, 0, 2.9], 1, 1.275, 1, 0.066, [4, 5, 10, 10], [[0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.33], [0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 0.33], [0.2, 0.2, 0, 0]], [0, 1], 1, 0, "", "", _obj];
_PS2 setDropInterval 0.5;

Smoke Part 2:

_PS3 setParticleCircle [0, [0, 0, 0]];
_PS3 setParticleRandom [0, [0, 0, 0], [0.5, 0.5, 0], 0, 0.25, [0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05], 0, 0];
_PS3 setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\FireAndSmokeAnim\SmokeAnim.p3d", 8, 3, 1], "", "Billboard", 1, 15, [0, 0, 0.5], [0, 0, 2.9], 1, 1.275, 1, 0.066, [4, 5, 10, 10], [[0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.75], [0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 0.5], [1, 1, 1, 0.2]], [0], 1, 0, "", "", _obj];
_PS3 setDropInterval 0.25;
