HC_Official Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) I would like the ability to both create (which we can with trigger command) - but it does not return a reference object (which would be needed to destroy it later) or the ability to assign a name to the created object (also another way to destroy the fire/smoke object) eg: info here https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_effectSmokeBig trigger.action.effectSmokeBig(Vec3, 3, 0.75, "mysmoke") or local smoke_object = trigger.action.effectSmokeBig(Vec3, 3, 0.75, "mysmoke") And Also be able to destroy the created big fire or big smoke object at a later stage in the mission eg: Unit.getByName('mysmoke'):destroy() or smoke_object:destroy() I would also like this to work in both Single player and Multiplayer Edited May 1, 2021 by HC_Official 2 Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .

xjk Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I am with HC_Official on this. Smoke is, realistically, never sudden or forever. It is transient. I am not asking for a careful transition (though it would be nice) from start to stop. It would just be great to turn it on for a specified amount of time, as @HC_Official points out!

cfrag Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I just noticed that ME now (since when??) sports an action EFFECT - SMOKE - OFF with a zone as parameter. Is there a corresponding API for us lowly Lua laborers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
