edit: well my employer knew i was done with school, and now i get about twice the hours, cuz, ya know, i dont have anything else to do....slowly attempting to learn 3d modeling.....ive been using autodesk and solid works since 6th grade and now im in my fourth year of college. not only do old habits die hard but these blender and nifskope programs are total aliens to me...this could take a while....if anyone else wishes to take a stab at the graphics stuff then let me know...ill keep moving....slowly...and unsure-ly

Smoke grenades, used to mask movement, signal personnel and aircraft, and also good for a game of hot potato. in fallout, npcs do not see with their eyes, they use ai- the developers have gotten better, using line of sight for the sneak system but a cloud of smoke is useless theyll still see and shoot you. well i posted an idea on the forum, and i wanted to try to make it on my own as well.

what this does:
adds smoke grenades to the goodsprings school house that damage perception (hard to see in smoke) agility (hard to move when you cant see obstacles) and the guns skill (hard to aim when you cant see) ive also set it to frenzy on critical hits - if all of a sudden your gang is surrounded by smoke and your being shot at, any attempt to shoot back would just be blind fire, possibly shooting your friends.

it looks good on paper, and it "works" in game

"works": ive tested it to verify that it wont ctd, i haven't had a chance to test it in actual combat but in theory, toss one of these first and your shooting fish in a barrel (blind firing slow moving fish anyway)
.......and the bad news, this is my first "real" mod, ive made tweaks for personal use in the past but never released anything.

so this is essentially a re-chamber. the smoke grenades have the afore-mentioned effects, but they are essentially an incendiary grenade, same model, and explosion

i chose that model because that canister is a smoke grenade, when i think incendiary, the white phosphorus grenade from rainbow six comes to mind, which is a lemon shape not a canister.

THIS IS AN EVOLUTIONARY MOD - BOOKMARK IT
while this "works" it is not the final version- things i plan to do - i literally made this in half an hour through trial and error

change the sound - i dont want an explosion , im thinking the sound of a hissing pipe would work, i just have to find it (or i can record the sound of a smoke bomb if i cant find something)

appearance - i dont want to use the inc. model, once i learn how to edit models, and get something im happy with ill change it

the smoke it self- as i said, using the vanilla inc. grenade explosion. i want to add large plumes of smoke in multiple colors (red, white, yellow)

updating as i learn to do things, for now its technically working just not visually pleasing...
