Smoke Grenade Pack

[Al Simmons]

Ive made a little addon which adds 4 new smokeshells to ArmA. Added colors are deepred, blue, yellow and violet. At this stage there are still some bugs in it. This was originaly created for my clan for CAS, CASEVAC and CSAR MP Operations.
Known Issues:
-picked up shells are not throwable
-colors are too bright

Future changes:
-fixing pickup bug
-fixing colors
-adding strobelight and IR strobe
-adding m203 smokegrenades

Suggestions are welcome.

Do these by any chance block the AI view?
Looks good anyway.

Apparently not, although the smoke isn't too thick with the original smokeshells, haven't tried these ones though.

[mickuzy]

cool, should be handy in multiplayer

No smoke in ArmA blocks AI view. This neither. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif

@<hidden>
thx for the feedback

Well, AI-blocking wasnt planned when i started this addon, but its a good idea. So if ill get AI viewblock working will add some artysmokeshells.

@<hidden>
Yes there are smokeshells in ArmA, but only white/grey; green and red/orange

Yeah glowsticks would be nice, but as u already mentioned, for modellchanges we have to wait for the tools.

I tweaked some smoke and tried to make the colors more realistic. Also the structure was optimized so the pickup and use of the shells works better now. I dont think that theres a lagfree way to block AI-views, without oxygen2.

Is there anyway you can equip a plane (maybe camel?) or a helicopter with those grenades?

[Big Dawg KS]

Are you making these realistic or just for gameplay? IRL, the M18 (colored smoke grenade for US forces) comes only in red, yellow, green, and violet. The grenade I know of that comes in blue is the Russian RDG-1, an older grenade but it still finds use especially since it can float and thus be used to screen waterways.

Edit: Al Simmons, I was planning on porting my grenade pack to (and possibly continuing work on it for) ArmA. It already uses AI view blocking and all that stuff, if you want to use the models (or anything from the pack) give me a holler, I&#39;m pretty sure they&#39;ll still work in ArmA.

So you guys say that the stock smoke grenades in ArmA 1.01 still doesn&#39;t block&#39;s AI&#39;s LOS?

Also the smoke effects from the grenades looks very very similair to OFP&#39;s. I was hoping for a bit better looking and at least functional smoke grenades this time around http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif

First it was made for gameplay only, but i try your stuff, if it still works for ArmA, when it does i will port this effect with full credits for your awsome job.
