[OpF_sp]

Hi,

I'm searching a script making a fire like that on the picture below.
I know thats availiable, because I had found such a script few months ago, but I can't find it again.  


Thanks for your help!

Thanks,
i found a script but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

That's the script "fire.sqs":

Code: [Select]

_object = _this select 0
_time = 0

#burn

drop ["cl_fire","","Billboard",1,0.7,[random(0.75)-2.5,random(0.75)-4,random(0.75)-1.5],[random(15),random(15),30],0,1.2,0.2,random(0.2),[random(3),random(5),0],[1,1,1,1],[1,1,1,0], ,0,0,"","",_object]
drop ["cl_fire","","Billboard",1,0.7,[random(0.75)-2.5,random(0.75)-4,random(0.75)-1.5],[random(10),random(10),15],0,1.2,random(0.2),random(0.2),[random(3),random(5),0],[1,1,1,1],[1,1,1,0], ,0,0,"","",_object]
drop ["cl_fire","","Billboard",1,0.7,[random(0.75)-2.5,random(0.75)-4,random(0.75)-1.5],[random(0.2),random(0.2),0.5],0,1.2,random(0.2),random(0.2),[random(3),random(5),0],[1,1,1,1],[1,1,1,0], ,0,0,"","",_object]
drop ["cl_basic","","Billboard",5,random(10),[random(0.75)-2.5,random(0.75)-4,random(0.75)-1.5],[random(1),random(1),random(10)],0,0.75,1,random(1),[1,random(10)+10],[0,0,0,0.9],[0.4,0.4,0.4,0], ,0,0,"","",_object]

_time=_time + 1
?_time >=1000:goto "exit"
goto "burn"

#exit
exitThe Script will be activated by: [objectname]exec "fire.sqs"

If you  find the mistake please post it!

OpF_sp,

Wecome to the forum!

The script uses the reserved variable _time which probably isn't helping.    But what do you mean "it doesn't work"?   What did you do?  What went wrong?  How do you know it doesn't work?   Whose script is it?

[General Barron]

This wouldn't be the problem, but the script should really have a delay between each loop. A script like that is going to lag the bejeezus out of ofp...

I put this script in a simple Mission: I've put into the init of the soldier named S this command: exec "fire.sqs".
If I want to test the script now in the preview, following text appear:

hmmm... unfortunately the screengrab of the message cuts off before the helpful part, which is usually marked by a [ # ]  at the place where flashpoint is having problems.

if you could tell us what script you're using - i.e. where you got it - we might be able to help better.  :-\

Here is the mission:

well at first glance the drop command requires 19 parameters and each drop command in the script you supplied has 20...

i shall investigate to see what's what, and return your mini mission in full working order - hopefully

edit - well, it seems the error is "type number, expected array"... in the meantime, may i respectfully suggest this fire script - it's the one i use and simplicity to call in a mission. it also works  

edit 2 - all done. i added a tiny pause too as the script was lagging like crazy. see attached.
