YosefAnan Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 In this video, I explain how to create fire with surrounding light and smoke coming out of it. I apologize for the video length and for resetting the settings multiple times, as I couldn’t remember the exact configurations and was trying to adjust them to be as perfect as they should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CC] RaVaGe Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Too much work for this. Better to edit the art.ini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPwny Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 ah, that trick for attaching a smoke like effect wont work in maps because maps only parse rules.ini flags and active anims are art.ini flags. the simplest trigger setup would be: trigger 1, set to repeat event 1: elapsed time (the amount of time that the particle system plays for) action 1: play particle system at waypoint trigger 2, one time event 1: destroyed by anything action 1: disable trigger 1 action 2: remove particle system at waypoint real quick and simple but of course not automatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPwny Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 after making a new particle system and listing it in the particlesystems index in rules.ini, use that number to call it in the fa2 trigger action. i used to do it to make like red and green drop zone flares. i dont have my main computer so i cant give example code right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
