[DFX2] moving fire

[MAJWIZ]

Need to set a field on fire by shooting a barrel ect. tried to teleport fire to location and tried to hide / unhide ? I have a map that you had to shoot the barrel and the field would start on fire, but i don't remember the name of the file. help!

This is primitive but works kinda OK. Fire doesn't burn out.

Here are some other Fires you can use besides the one in the script.

Use variables as a matter of rule.

effect_FxFire1m
effect_FxFire2m
effect_FxFire4m
effect_FxFire6m
effect_FxFireHm
effect_fxfirewd


if ssndead(267) and never() then
set(v10,1)
endif

if eq(v10,1) and never() then
fx2tgt effect_fxfire6m(1)
endif

if chain(3) and never() then
fx2tgt effect_fxfire6m(2)
endif

if chain(3) and never() then
fx2tgt effect_fxfire6m(3)
endif

and so on...

After understanding the the basic script above.
New designers can then modify the script further with the "random" instruction.

VARIABLES
Basically, you should choose a variable number to do a set group of tasks.
Then re-use it when needed throughout your maps.

IMO it's a way to be a bit more familiar with what's going on and stay mentally organized.

For this example I have chosen variable 10 but you can easily choose your own.

Variable 10 default state is (v10,0)

We are saying that when "eq(v10,0)" reaches "eq(v10,1)" then the set actions are triggered

The trigger is seen in "if ssndead set(v10,1)"

The actions are seen in "if eq(v10,1)"


//EXAMPLE WAC

//teleport fx to targets
//using...
//effect_FxFire1m
//effect_FxFire2m
//effect_FxFire4m
//effect_FxFire6m
//effect_FxFireHm
//effect_fxfirewd


//variable 10 object(s) destroyed

if ssndead(1) and never() then
set(v10,1)//when ssn 1 is destroyed this sets variable 10,0 to 10,1
endif


//variable 10 start random

if eq(v10,1) and never() then
fx2tgt effect_fxfire6m(1)// (1)= teleport target 1 and starts with script
endif

if chain(1) and random(3) and never() then
fx2tgt effect_fxfire6m(2)// (2)= teleport target 2 and fires approx 1-3 seconds after triggering
endif

if chain(2) and random(3) and never() then
fx2tgt effect_fxfire6m(3)// (3)= teleport target 3
endif

NOTE:
In case of a bug (I call them Gremlins) and a variable fails to trigger no matter what.

Trying a different variable number and/or triggering it in a different way sometimes works wonders.

id pop in my head
