You may always create mock explosions with drop commands, you may also add sound, for example adding a gamelogic where you attach the drop effects and that logic would also "Say" the sound of the explosion.

EDIT:
This is one of my missile warheads effects slightly modified so there is no real detonation. I deleted many of the code there related to the real explosion and scoring, hope the script still works.

Code: [Select]

// mando missile warhead type 1
// mando_missilehead1a.sqf v1.0
// Jan 2007 Mandoble
//
// General explosion script for mando missiles
// This script may be used as explosion script argument for mando_missile.sqf
//
// Big smoke and falling smoke debris
// Medium power explosion (equivalent to M_Ch29_AT missile).

Test the scripts in the above modified post. You should also add a sound file there for the explosion to be reallistic, dont forget to include it in your description.ext and in the script where the logic "Say" it.

Add a little rock shower to it

exactly what i need  but....... deres alwayz a but :moon: 

da explosion is a lot bigger dan i want... im makin it start indoors... nd dis explosion fill my whole room... can u edit da script a lil more

[Mandoble]

Adjust the _sizes of the particles: _size, _size1 and _size2
For example, pick up every number in these size arrays and divide by 3. Play with them till you get the desired size. You may use a parameter as the divisor factor, so you may have smaller or bigger explosions at will.
