The missile tail

[Plane]

Does anyone know how to set the smoke amount of a rocket or missile?
Need help!

[Plane]

I've tried to use "drop" command but the get the missile "nearestobject" often return the first fired missile,so the second have no smoke!
Is that a OFP bug? "NearestObject"

Code: [Select]

_missile1 = NearestObject [_shooter, _ammoType]
_missile2 = NearestObject [_missile1, _ammoType]
_missile1 exec "\Bomb\TailSmoke.sqs"
_missile2 exec "\Bomb\TailSmoke.sqs"

TailSmoke.sqs:

Code: [Select]

_missile = _this
_yh1 = [.9, .9, .9, .9]
_yh2 = [.9, .9, .9, .8]
_yh3 = [.9, .9, .9, 0]
_Kanal = [_yh1, _yh2, _yh2, _yh3]
_Cveti = [[0, 0, 0],[0, 1, 0]]
_i=0
#Loop
?(not alive _missile): exit
_i=_i+1
{drop ["cl_basic", "", "Billboard", 1, 15, _x, [0, -2, 0], 1, 1.08, 0.85, 0.1, [3,5.0], _Kanal, [0], 0.1, 0.1, "","",_missile]} ForEach _Cveti
~.01
?_i<=100: goto "loop"
exit
See the code, after test the first missile have thick smoke while second have noun,what's the problem?

Ok, it's a missile launched from an aircraft, right? Look at the attached file. That works, and I've even tried the thing you ask with it. It works. You'll have to remove a few things from the script, but that shouldn't be a problem. I would present a more cleaned up version to you, but I lost all my scripts I have assimilated through the past year or so some time ago.

Use it as such - This addEventHandler ["Fired",{_this exec "MissileFlame.sqs"}]

Don't know if that's the correct []}[} stuff, but you should know what I'm talking about.

thanks,you gave me another example! :cheers:
But my problem is that if use this script on burst-fired rockets only one rocket will work!
It means if the burst rocket is fired,the "Fired" event will only active once!
So my question is how to get the other rocket when burst rocket is fired?

Yes I've had problems with this before as well. Unfortunatly we cannot use nearestobject, because if we try finding the nearest ammo type to the vehicle we will get only one of the rockets (most likely the second), if we try to find the nearest ammo type to the rocket that we did detect, it will return that same rocket (nearestobject doesn't seem to exclude the object). But so far I haven't been able to come up with any solution.
