Spawning a static effect with MOOSE won't work

[Atari800XL]

Hi everyone,

spawning a static C-130 works in my example, spawning a fire with smoke don't. Anyone got a tip for me? Both static objects exist in my mission, no typo in the names. Removing the country.id.USA doesn't work. 

My Code:

crashZone = ZONE:New( 'foobazbar' )
wreckSpawn = SPAWNSTATIC:NewFromStatic('C130', country.id.USA )
fireSpawn = SPAWNSTATIC:NewFromStatic('CrashSmoke-1', country.id.USA )
wreckSpawn:SpawnFromZone( crashZone , 200)
          :Explode(2,5)

fireSpawn:SpawnFromZone( crashZone , 200 )

Thanks and best regards,
Andreas

EDIT: found this in my dcs.log:
2023-09-30 13:32:10.144 ERROR   APP (Main): unknown static shape_name, category , type: big_smoke

2nd EDIT:
Method Explode() doesn't work anymore on POSITIONABLE in MOOSE 2.7.22, this Method has vanished.. In 2.7.21 Explode() allready works.

Use trigger.action.effectSmokeBig instead. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_effectSmokeBig

It works, 1001 Thanks!

Now I can spawn random crashed static planes with effects, exactly what I wanted.

Background: I'm learning MOOSE and generally DCS-scripting. For a trainingmission I have 100+ possible crashzones where I needed a crashed plane like below in the screenshot.
