• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Im working on a mission and im trying to get an effect to be triggered when the plane is on its final approach. i get the plane to fly through the proximity trigger but the effect is not being triggered. Im using the opt if that means anything
 
Here are the objects you will need:

Rectangular Area
Proximity Trigger
GEN_SceneryEffect
Attach Effect Action

Place your Rectangular Area in the place you want the player to trigger the effect.

Place the GEN_SceneryEffect object in the location you want the effect to be.

Add Attach Effect Action; Put in the Effect Name (Example: fx_ForestFireLarge.fx); Object Reference, select the GEN_SceneryEffect; AttachPointName is attachpt_GenericEffect (this is the attachment point name for the Gen_SceneryEffect object)

Add Proximity Trigger; Area - Select the rectangular area; OnEnterAction - Select AttachEffectAction

When the player enters the rectangular area, it will trigger the effect.

Hi. This looks like it could be the solution to a problem that seemed to have an otherwise very complicated solution. I am doing a mission involving a car accident and I wanted some smoke to come up from the bonnet to give the player a hint as to where the accident is without having to use the mission compass.

I followed the instructions above only I left out the area and proximity trigger as I want the effect to be active all the time. The effect I want to use is fx_smoke_r.fx but it isn't showing up where I placed the GEN_sceneryEffect object or at all.

Is there any reason I would have to change the process for that particular file?

The only other possible issue is that I set up a BGL file to do the same thing (which I haven't got working yet, though I think that's to do with the time frame I've used). Is it likely that that would interfere?

I have not placed the fx_smoke_r.fx effect into the mission as an object as I couldn't see it in the list.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Dan.
