you can script it using the drop comand,

this is a good particle to use for black

Code: [Select]

drop ["cl_basic", "", "Billboard", 5, 2, [0, 0, 0], [0,0,0], .5, .11, 1, .3, [.3,4],[[0,0,0,.3],[0,0,0,0]],[0],0,0,"","",_pos]

you put that in your config i think

where _pos is put the position you want the particle to apear the particle will last 2 seconds

oh please not in the config mate, this belongs into an external script. check the editors' depot for smoke scripts, i'm sure you'll find something useful there.

but apart from adding a script you can also tweak the config to get more smoke, which is a lot less lag-intense. for example here's the relevant config part for the main gun of our bmd-1. it's a standalone subclass somehwere above the cfgvehicles section
 

Code: [Select]

class WeaponCloudsGun {};
class imuc_SabotClouds : WeaponCloudsGun
{
   access=3;
   cloudletDuration=2;
   cloudletAnimPeriod=0.8;
   cloudletSize=2.0;
   cloudletAlpha=0.7;
   cloudletGrowUp=0.1;
   cloudletFadeIn=0.1;
   cloudletFadeOut=2;
   cloudletAccY=0.4;
   cloudletMinYSpeed=0.3;
   cloudletMaxYSpeed=0.9;
   cloudletShape="cl_basic";
   cloudletColor[]={0.345,0.36,0.348,0.15};
   interval=0.1;
   size=1.0;
   sourceSize=0.2;
   timeToLive=0.1;
   initT=20;
   deltaT=-10;

   class Table
      {
         class T1 { maxT=0; color[]={1,1,1,0}; };
         class T2 { maxT=500; color[]={1,1,0,0};   };
         class T3 { maxT=800; color[]={0,0,0,0};   };
         class T4 { maxT=1000; color[]={1,1,1,0}; };
         class T5 { maxT=1800; color[]={0.18,0.18,0.18,0}; };
         class T6 { maxT=2000; color[]={0.1,0.1,0.1,0}; };
         class T7 { maxT=4000; color[]={0.25,0.25,0.251,0}; };
      };
   };
than you put in the cfgvehicle part of your vehicle the following sub-class:

Code: [Select]

     
                class GunClouds: imuc_SabotClouds{};you can also insert the whole part i posted in the first quote in the cfgvehicle section, but IMO that makes the config a little complex-

tweak the code a bit so that it fits your needs and please change all imuc- tagged classnames. so your bit would start maybe like "class WeaponCloudsGun {};
class prx_mortarClouds : WeaponCloudsGun
{... etc.... "

ps. don't thank me but IM:UC's config wizard tomislav for this as he was the one who figured out for us how it works ;)
