Flak/ air explosion

[granQ]

Hello..

Need to get some bang in air..

_flak = _fxshell createVehicle [_pX, _pY, _pZ]
_flak1 = _fxshell createVehicle [_pX, _pY, _pZ]
~0.001
_flak setpos getpos _flak1

doesn't work.. they just spawn and fall down, causing an explosion on ground, not wanted.

Any suggestions?

Ammo won't collide with other ammo. You could try creating a "weaponHolder" (invisible, but causes collisions) at the position of the ammo (_fxshell) you have created and leave it to collide for a fraction of a second.

Alternatively, use the "bomb" class, although that is rather limited in that it only has one "size":

Code: [Select]

_bomb = "bomb" createVehicle _pos;
_bomb setPos _pos; // Need to setPos after creation, because bomb will always be created on the ground.
_bomb setDamage 1;
sleep 0.05;
deleteVehicle _bomb; // Need to delete it afterwards, since otherwise it will stay in the air burning.

thanks alot

Bomb worked but was way to powerful for my 40 mm bofors gun.

However the weaponholder idea was perfect.
