Making in-game arty look like it's shooting

[asmodeus]

Hello!   ;D

I have a few missions that show close-ups of the in-game artillery during cutscenes.  The problem I've run into is that the arty doesn't fire of course, so I can't make it look like it's actually shooting at a target (flash of light, shooting sound, fire & smoke coming out of the barrel, etc)

My idea is to use a script that would probably use the drop command to create these effects.  The goal is to keep people from having to get too many addons.

I know there is an addon that makes these guns able to fire, but I would prefer to just achieve the look of it for visual effect with a script.   (plus I don't want the arty to actually fire, just look like it does)

I think this could add to a lot of missions and help the community.  

Also, I hate to ask someone else to make it, but I just don't have the scripting skills to make something like this yet.
