Hello All
Here's a query / suggestion for the community. Is there a drop effect library and if not, would it be worth while creating one for use by the community ?
What I'm thinking of is something like the playmove/switchmove and action libraries but much more advanced - a library of script snippets for any type of drop effect that a scripter might need. You know - small puffs, big explosions, dust shocks, vertical fires, seeping gas leaks, big blazing oil fires etc - basically any type of drop effect that you might want to put in to a script somewhere.
Does anyone know if such a thing exists ? If not, would anyone be willing to help set one up ? I do quite a bit of scripting myself but I took one look at the 25 variable drop particle monstrosity and said to myself - "There ain't no way the kids are ever going to give me the unbroken 6 hours free that I would need to understand that !".
This could be a VERY useful utility for the comnity as a whole (said the man looking for some decent big explosions, burning vehicles and smoking aircraft effects . . .)
Cheers all !

Well, there is a utility that lets you play with drop command settings on this page (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/browse.php?browseon=&browsewhat=-1&catselected=-1_-1&catagory=-1&subcategory=-1_-1&numreturn=25&displayformat=0&ofpv=1&searchwhat=1&searchlevel=0&searchwhat=1&searchopts=&searchstring=drop). It's called dialog drop. On the same page there is a drop tutorial.
A library of drop effects would be useful.

I think this would be a pretty good idea... I'd actually really like to see this done.
