Listed on this page are several basic particle effects, that can be used as they are, or as templates for further customization.
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 <tt>_OBJ</tt> has to exist, which points to an in-game object (a Game Logic, for example) to define the location of the effect.
To use these examples a variable named {{hl|_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;
<sqf>_OBJ = GameLogicOne;</sqf>
In addition, a particle source has to be defined:
In addition, a particle source has to be defined:

This information is obsolete as of Arma 2 v1.00. Reason: For later titles (Arma 2, Arma 3), see Particles Tutorial - Full examples.

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

PE BurningVehicleLookAlike.jpg

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;
