thanks alot that looks right to me but havent tested that was something along those lines that i expected and since i dont want to take up alod of space on the boards ive got another question wich ill edit the topic name and edit first post the question is

_smk2 = "SmokeShellRed" CamCreate setpos getpos a2

why doesnt that work aparentally getpos is an invalid command ??

Because you've got the syntax wrong. Camcreate is supposed to look like this:

"obj" camcreate [position]

You are trying to do this:

"obj" camcreate setpos [position]

So just remove the "setpos" and it should work fine. Also, if you are running this command from a trigger, then you can't use a local variable (_smk2).

well tecnically you could, and it would be local to the trigger, so you could add something else into the trigger affecting the smokeshell..... ;D

just wanted to say that, but listen to GB cause he's right for just about anything and everything you would want to do with it

Nope  ;D. Try it--OFP will spit an error message at you and won't let you close the trigger.

okay thanks alot but im trying to create it in a trigger with about a 2 by 2 radius so when the player runs over certain area detected by trigger it runs a script wich gives a 50 50 chance of
a) creating smoke and setting everyone to combat
b) creating 2 explosions one either side of the player thus killing him

ill have a go with that and replace the trigger with a marker or gl
thanks
