Engine Troubles needed...

[NAA_Anton]

Is there anyway that I can get a car to smoke like it was damaged without showing damage textures?

Yip ,use the new drop command to generate smoke.

also when it is smoking, you could use the "setfuel 0" a couple of seconds later command to simulate the engine blowing and the jeep grinding to a halt if you want the engine to go when you are driving it

you can drop a fire ( inflame ) under that car  
Not really advanced but works fine

try this to keep the smoke at the engine if moving-


enginegoes.sqs

;use this as the script that starts the engine blowing
[] exec "smoke.sqs"
[] exec "stopjeep.sqs"


smoke.sqs

;this will make the engine smoke with a flare, fiddle about with the position of the flare with + and - commands to poisiton it right

enginesmoke = camcreate "smokeshell" getpos [jeep]

#loop
enginesmoke setpos [(getpos jeep select 0), (getpos jeep select 1), (getpos jeep select 2)]
goto "loop"


Stopjeep.sqs

;this should bring the jeep to a halt after 3 seconds

~3
jeep setfuel 0

just double check the commands on the command reference if it doesnt work first time, i dont have them to hand at the mo.
