Title: Disabling certain Effects
Post by: Rommel92 on 01 Sep 2009, 08:48:08

I recently noticed I could I do the following to remove those annoying secondary explosions that constantly appear, without any real justification (since when does a civilian car have ammo stored in?).

It can be done by simply over riding the functions via:

Code: [Select]

waituntil{not isnil "BIS_Effects_Secondaries"};
BIS_Effects_Secondaries = nil;
I do this for quite a few of the 'annoying' particle effects; by doing this:

Code: [Select]

BIS_Effects_EH_Fired=nil;
BIS_Effects_EH_Killed= nil;
Just letting people know this as it was very frustrating to me; and interesting also that they were by maddMatt lol?

Code: [Select]

Thanks for sharing. Made addons for it to disable fire or the secondaries.  :)

Wow, this is great!  Just tonight I was on a mission with some friends and ran up behind a burned out vehicle.  One guy is like, "get away from that, it might explode again" and I smugly said "Bah, it's a burned out hulk" two seconds before it exploded and took my legs with it! heh

FYI:
The code for calculating the number of secondary explosions is buggy. The issue has been reported (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/3690) and hopefully gets fixed sooner or later.
