Where can I find placeable fire/smoke? [Solved]

Post by SkinnyODST »

Where can I find or download (if there is any to download) some place-able fire and/or smoke? Like the small fires seen on some of the stock maps, on the destroyed gunships I`m pretty sure is where they are. What are they called if they`re in the stock maps?

Those are particle effects. Offhand I think you can find some good fire ones in the mygeeto effects folder. If you want to place them, you need a model with hardpoints, and that model's odf needs a line that says

Code: Select all

AttachEffect
"name_of_effect.fx" 
hp_name
or something like that, it's late and I'm not at my pc... but if you look at yavin trees you'll see they used attachodf for the leaves and it's the same idea. Make sure you check first so you get the format right.

Specifically, the ODF needs to include:

Code: Select all

AttachEffect = "effectname"
AttachToHardPoint = "hardpointname"
It's worth noting that they need to be in that order.
