Hello. I am trying to add smoke effects to a mod (it bothered me that there weren't any). This is what I have, but it seems they're not working.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey guys, I have been looking into the smokepoint issue on the MK22 engine. Seems like there can only be one smokePoint per part, my part has two smokePoints; which causes the smoke to only appear on one nozzle. 

Currently the fix will be to make the smokepoint in the center of the model or somehow add it to the FX. You can pick up the latest on Github where @Wolfair corp. and I are constantly updating it.

https://github.com/WolfairCorp/AoA-Technologies

 

Let me know if there is anything else you think that can be improved on the part.

I asked @NecroBones about this, I think there is a way to have more than one smokePoint - there are many mods that have two engine nozzles in one part that work fine.

I'll look into it.

I went on your Github and it looks like you did almost the exact same thing I did; did you have absolutely nothing show or it only show from one smokepoint? You can add multiple smokepoints (I've seen them named "smokepoint1, smokepoint2", etc) and have the same FX coming from it.

I have two smokePoint transforms. Both named smokePoint.  I will need to go into the Unity Prefab and do some adjustments there. Right now the smoke only comes from one nozzle.

Having two smokepoints with the same name could definitely be the cause of some of this weirdness.

Same name will result only the 1st works.

And BTW, how to add more than one smoke trail? Add 2 PREFAB_PARTICLE in the same effect?

Probably, haven't tested it myself but I have seen several mods with 2 PREFAB_PARTICLE in the same effect.

Multiple smoke points is something I'd expect to work, but I haven't really tested it (that I can recall off hand). Most of the stock parts, and also my multi-engine parts, use a single smoke emitter right in the middle. It's a bit of a framerate saver. :)

 

Multiple prefab emitters can be done, but they have to be assigned separate names (which are often missing in stock configs).

You can have multiple smokepoint on one model when using PREFAB_PARTICLE. You just need to give the smokepoints different names and reference them individually in the .cfg file.

PREFAB_PARTICLE
      {
        name = smoketrail1
        prefabName = fx_smokeTrail_medium
        transformName = fxTransform1                 // <-----------smokepoint number 1
        emission = 0.0 0.0
        emission = 0.05 0.0
        emission = 0.075 0.25
        emission = 1.0 1.25
        speed = 0.0 0.25
        speed = 1.0 1.0
        localOffset = 0, 0, 0
      }
      PREFAB_PARTICLE
      {
        name = smoketrail2
        prefabName = fx_smokeTrail_medium
        transformName = fxTransform2                 // <-----------smokepoint number 2
        emission = 0.0 0.0
        emission = 0.05 0.0
        emission = 0.075 0.25
        emission = 1.0 1.25
        speed = 0.0 0.25
        speed = 1.0 1.0
        localOffset = 0, 0, 0
      }
      PREFAB_PARTICLE
      {
        name = smoketrail3
        prefabName = fx_smokeTrail_medium
        transformName = fxTransform3                 // <-----------smokepoint number 3
        emission = 0.0 0.0
        emission = 0.05 0.0
        emission = 0.075 0.25
        emission = 1.0 1.25
        speed = 0.0 0.25
        speed = 1.0 1.0
        localOffset = 0, 0, 0
      }

If a model has two or more objects with identical names PartTools renames the second object with suffix .001 and counting.

I believe that's just a Blender specific way of handling meshes with identical names.

"name = smoketrail3"

That's not stock, isn't?

We're not using SmokeScreen for now.

For now my config looks like this:

				localOffset = 0, 0, 1
				localRotation = 1, 0, 0, -90

I stand corrected. After checking the part hierarchy in the game I indeed found the identical names untouched.
