Hi Folks,

how can i spawn a Smoke Cloude ?

Want to spawn some Soldiers near the boarder of the map, so that they enter the map through this

Cloud of Smoke.

To use an Ability of a Faction i need also the Upgrade for to use Smoke,...

Is there a simple way to realise this?

Edit:
Found some Abilities:
ABILITY.AEF.ARTILLERY_SMOKE_BARRAGE
ABILITY.AEF.FATALITY_SMOKE_FLARES
ABILITY.AEF.M2_60MM_MORTAR_TEAM_SMOKE_BARRAGE_MP
ABILITY.AEF.M20_SMOKE
ABILITY.AEF.M23_SMOKE_STREAM_RIFLE_GRENADE_MP
ABILITY.AEF.M23_SMOKE_STREAM_RIFLE_GRENADE_VET_MP
ABILITY.AEF.SMOKE_SHERMAN_MORTAR_BARRAGE_BULLDOZER_MP

Script runs in error because the Upgrade is not available for the faction.

Thanks an Greetings

Ernst,

You have to get yourself familiar with Action_markers.
They're the red flag next to "object placement" called "Render Marker Prox."
Then in the menu press Action markers (It's always set on "Scar markers").
Then right click anywhere on the map you want to put it.
Then select it and click "Edit action", under 'New command' select: Fx_Attach near the bottom of the list.
Then click "Patch" and select the effect you want to add.
Some effects will not be generated right away and take a small time to take effect.

Hope this helps!

Hi Invictus,

many thanks for your hints.

How can i control this Action_markers by an Scar-Script?

Every time a Unit is spawned to the Map, die Smoke Cloud must be set, so this is not a single Event.

aerafield: @OKSpitfire tbh I find it quite challenging to get the Pershing in time, having to suffer through the CoH3 tickrate and this endless bullshit meta of massive blobs going back and forth to the forward heal truck

OKSpitfire: Well... going to be seeing the Pershing a lot for a little while, that thing is a monster.

Rosbone: The only way to feel good about Coh3 is to never look at Coh3. Once you see it, you cant unsee it.
