No smoke

[satchmo]

Is it possible to have a fireplace burning, and have no smoke.
And if so how???

Well to have no explosion (fire) effects and no smoke whatsoever in the game due to low Frames, u can turn off Cloudlets in the option menu..... but thatd make the game bland but will make it run more smoothly

No

Try asking Igor Drukov.  He wrote a really nice script called UltimateFire.sqs.  It's a burning vehicle script with lots of smoke.  Maybe he would be willing to modify it by removing the smoke and making the fire smaller.

It never hurts to ask.

Ive already checked the scripts mentioned and others.
The problem with these scripts are that well the are burning fine but produce no light. This is the effect i want. Open miss editor and place a fireplace change time to 00:00 and preview, then you see that from the fire a ceartain ligt come. Thats what im after. For exp i want to have a night mission where you have destroyed all ligts in town and only have these so called fires in houses, to make it see that there are somebody home.
Thats what i want.

Maybe you can try using this streetlamp addon:

and bury the lamp inside the house, using setpos.  One of these lamps is low level.  But if it is a fire you are after then it will not be realistic to have a burning house without smoke.

Unfortunately there is no way to produce REAL light with a script (see here), the aim, or at least my aim, being to use as few add-ons as possible.

What I've been trying to do is to create a flare (which IS a source of light), and then a loop to setpos continually where you want, but it takes about two seconds for the flare to ignite, during which it keeps falling to the ground  :-\. That means that you can't stick it on a house ceiling or other.
I give you the script anyway, so you might figure out what you can do with it (it's quite plain, really) :

Code: [Select]

_object=_this select 0
_height=_this select 1
_flare="fire" camcreate [getpos _obj select 0,getpos _obj select 1,_h]
#loop
_flare setpos [getpos _obj select 0,getpos _obj select 1,_h]
~0.001
goto "loop"


[Igor Drukov]

All right I've found it out !:afro:
Never mind my previous post  
To create a non-smoking fire, use this script :

Code: [Select]

_obj=_this select 0
_h=_this select 1

#loop
_fire="fire" camcreate [getpos _obj select 0,getpos _obj select 1,_h]
_fire setpos [getpos _obj select 0,getpos _obj select 1,_h]
_fire inflame true
~0.0001
deletevehicle _fire
goto "loop"

I've just tested it, it works.

[satchmo]

Txh gonna test it.
 ;D

[satchmo]

i got en arror on the line
_fire="fire" camcreate [getpos _obj select 0,getpos _obj select 1,_h]

In the init field of the fire i have
this inflame true; this exec "nosmoke.sqs"

So what did i do wrong now?
Help a stupid man  ;D

[deaddog]

The script is looking for two parameters, not one.  Try this:

[this,0] exec "nosmoke.sqs"
