You see, that's the reason why I didn't touch the scripting engine yet. Let's wait a few patches until most of the non or wrong-working commands are fixed, that saves a lot of http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/banghead.gif

The command works, just there is no CL_basic in Arma. there are many effects you can use but you have to look for them in the CA pbo. For example: "\ca\data\ParticleEffects\Rocketsmoke\Rocketsmoke"

No something about the
Quote[/b] ]"Billboard",100,6*_power gets the error.

Im sure ive seen a Cl_Basic in ArmA but with using two versions both get the same error.

there is a definit cl_basic ,just your sscript obviously has some old ofp syntax that arma dont like.
heres an example from an arma script, vehicle dust i think.

all i can suggest is wait until someone can pick the bosnes out of that.
what i do know that i can use the drop command still the same
especially with spaceobject and a custom p3d. so it must be either your syntax isnt accepted or your not defining power ?
good luck http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Bump.

Can we have someone from BIS either update the Wiki or post embedded drop channels and formats here ?
