It's an effect that is called when % damage to sub is greater than value specified. Not sure what kind of sound you would place on this. All it does is emit smoke at certain places around the sub. I have total control of when certain smokes emit and when they cease emitting. It's basically scripted based on % damage to sub.

Holy crap! This is amazing TDW. I have poked around with trying to get internal smoke to work, with no results of course.

My hat is off to you

ohh there is a nice scene in "Das Boot" where the interrior catch on fire...(aviable in german and english) that would fit perfect, smoke could start, and with a little delay sound would play a voice "fire on board" together with a sound of a fire estingisher and caughts of the crew... after the sound finished about 10 seconds, the smoke can continue for a minute or longer

...a perfect solution would be if the sound source have a 3d position, playing in 3d then.

Yeah, you just reminded me that I need to add fire to the inside also

...say can you also trigger smoke if the batterys are damaged ? ...that would simulate acid leaks into bilge reacting with water (maybe different color).

later when we have a working snorkel, smoke could also come from the engine room if the snorkel cut below surface, simulating exhaust gas depressure into the boats interrior, again with caughts of course

Right now it's pretty limited what can be scripted. As always the devs included no list of commands for the scripting of events So it's up to use to try and figure out what they are I know 3 or 4 of them but there is probably a whole lot more commands

The good thing is that each compartment of the sub has it's own 'damage model' and thus the scripting of effects is controlled per compartment based on damage.

thats good to hear, maybe you could use compartments then which have batterys for acid smoke triggered by 30% damage or something, but all compartments triggerred for normal smoke by 50% and catch additional fire by having 70% of damage... but with a lenght limitation.

this effects could maybe restart if a smoke/fire effected compartment got an additional damage of 10% (or higher) over first trigger initiation value.

...say do you have a direct control on the boats CO2 level ?
