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

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 (http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse/index.php?board=8;action=display;threadid=10268)), 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"

All right I've found it out !:afro:
Never mind my previous post  :P
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.

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

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

[this,0] exec "nosmoke.sqs"
