I have seen plenty of aircraft/spaceships where they have afteburners with the flame and sound, But what is interestingto me is these are never sold a seperate script and nearly all are custom. How do you go about creating this effect?


If this topic is in the wrong thread I appologize and approve its move.

sound clips are all handled the same

the effect could be a few prims with a smooth texture animation and a gradient texture
or
a step animation (like the generic fire you see in alot of places)
or
particles
or
animation and particles
