Drop Command (Help!)

[m21man]

I've tried the tutorial, but I still don't get how to make the drop command work. Could you tell me how to, for example, make a fire system that creates particles from the hood of a truck called "truck"? I want the particles to disappear as they move into the air. Vektorboson's tutorial looked great, but I just can't make the bloody drop command work. Please help!

I can't answer the question, but I can tell you that whoever is going to answer the question will need more information.      What did you do?    How do you know it didn't work?     What went right/wrong?

I tried changing many of the values in the particle array, but I always got "Generic Error In Expression". Could someone send me a demo script of a fire?

Hey m21man,

You can UnPBO the Resistance campaign and take a look at the tenth cutscene (x10_something if I remember well), and also have a look at uiox' amazing tut'.

To attach a particle to the roof of a vehicle, you just need to define the initial relative position of the particle (say, [0,0,1.5]) : the last argument will then be the name of the vehicle itself.

Drop [blabla, [0,0,1.5], blabla, "","",truck]


(I don't have my ComRef here, can't be more specific).

Ig.

Thanks, I got the scripts and I'm making things burn!
