Could anybody create that effect for me?

[Deleted]

I am looking for a red/blue/green smoke effect (something like that):

Could anybody help me?

It should be very difficult to do. It would be a destruction effect that would last at least two real minutes.

I need more info before I can complete this...


What will be this effect be associated with?

If it is a weapon, is it a fired projectile or thrown like a grenade?

What will it be used on or against?

If it is a building, I need size.  If it is troops or vehicle, I need to know what size in regard to how much ground should be covered.

If this is a smoke grenade effect...   then I need some parameters as to area covered.  

There is a reason for my questions, and a reason some effects were not already done for BK.

The effect in itself is not a complex issue.   Using the effect on a variety of targets is a complex issue.

So provide some more details and I'll show you what I have...

Ok, I'll explain you my idea:

1. We need a 3D "unit" to be created, something like a red cross drawn on the floor.
2. That cross, that mark, would be displayed as a "reinforcement" by the script.
3. Once you destroy it (it would be a friendly unit) with somes infantry shots, it will start to burn, to fire.
4. Those colors are the ones used to mark the landing zones por helicopters.
5. So that way you can create smoke grenates that are used to mark landing zones.

Do you like the idea?

Hmmmm

OK...  we should probably discuss this through PM or email.

This will be a complex effect and most likely require more than one.

Here it is:



On the left you can see the mark, at which you have to fire if you want to activate it. On the right you can see MP's effect.

[Major Pain]

Do we need to move it closer?

What do you mean?

[Scyooff]

I think MP is talking about the mark near the red smoke.

Superb effect and congratulations guys !!!

[Major Pain]

Yea... I meant should it be closer to the mark?

Thanks for positive feedback...

Oh, no, no, it's OK, I mean, there were two marks, one of them, the one on the right, was destroyed. That's why you see one mark and the effect
