Petrol Station Explosion

[DBR_ONIX]

Hey
For a mission I want to make soon (Need to make a few addons for it first).
Basicly you need to defend this street (I'll not say much on it now), mainly a petrol station, as it is the last standing one in the surrounding 200 Miles.
It also has the last remaining food suppies 15m from it..
If it goes up, so does your hopes.
(BTW, it is just one mission in a pack/campain..)

Basicly, I need a "Failed" cutscene, for when the petrol station gets blowen up (Not that hard considering all the petrol fumes, a single greande, or person set alight near it.. Anyone scene the opening 10mins of 28 Days Later When the infetced people who are set on fire run into the petrol station... That exactly what I want..)

Basicly, how the hell do I do this? I don't want to use "laserguidedbomb" camcreate getpos [petrolstation"
I want more of a big fireball thing...

BTW2 : I don't understand the Drop Command.. Before anyone suggests that

I would hope that is could be an object, that you can place, then do something like this inflame true, or run a script.. So other people could use the petrol station.

Oh, and it doesn't have to work as a pertol station, if that makes it any easier.

I don't know if this should have gone in the addons idea, I don't think so, it is a script to make the fire, is all..

Thanks!

For the initial explosion you can camcreate or createvehicle several laserguided bomb at the loacation of the petrol station, but for a subsequent fire you will need to use the drop command (sorry - but no free lunch here).  If there is a "burnable" petrol station addon, then that would simplify matters, but I do not know of one.  If the fire part is too much trouble to figure out, try searching the script library, there may be an "on fire" script you can addapt for use in your petrol fire.  Also, you can check for scripts that make explosions, to see how to make the explosion by creating bombs right at the loacation of the station.  If you have not done much/any scripting, then look at some of those scripts to see how they work.  Also read the tutorials on scripting.

Cheers for that, mate.
I do a fair ammout of scripting. But I don't understand the drop command
I'll look around a bit for fire/explosion scripts (Fire scripts, theres a few in the editors depot I think).
Or, maybe, could someone who knows the drop command MSN/email me and give me a hand?

Thanks
