    Play part animation and Particle effects

    Does and one know any thing about these options. I tried to setup a Particle effect and nothing happen. The manual says to setup an area trigger and when I fly in the trigger, some thing should happen, well no thing happens

    and does any one have information on play part animation. I have a sample from Zac. I just need to know what else I can do and to what.

    Thanks Guys

    Here a Example for a Particle efect:

    1:
    Set a Teleport Marker in the Map

    Give the Marker the Number 1

    Make under Item Atrtributes by Map Symbol Green Smoke.

    2:

    Now comes the trip:

    Group 4 (Black Hawk) or (Group1 Player) reaches waypoint 2,3

    Create particle effect at teleport target 1

    Thats cool it work. ok so do you have any ideas at all about the effects. do you know what effects you can create and on what vehicles, Boats ect.

    You should be able to use a particle effect anywhere on the map but are stationary. Meaning effects will not move with item, vehicles will have to move to the effect or it can be triggered to take effect at a certain point. Not all effects work and I don't believe anyone has sat down to test which work and which do not. The particle effects only work in single player games and will not work in mutilplayer, though the host will see the effects others who have joined the game will not.

    Hmm sorry..I must have misunderstood you because theres only 14 particle effects - and you can't set the particle effect markers as the trigger - which I'm sure you knew that. The trigger marker and the partical effect marker have to be differnt.

    Me too. Maybe I should have said playing Animation. If you check out the events page. under adding an animation. theres 0-999 options. Like I said it would take years to go threw all of the options. Thats why we would have to try and find the programers.

    Thanks Charger
