Fueltank

Module: fueltank.lua

Overview

The Fueltank module manages the visual effects associated with a fuel tank object. Specifically, it handles starting and stopping flame and smoke emitters when certain state changes occur.

Inheritance

Inherits from: none — base/utility module
Imports: none

Instance pattern

This is a stateless manager/utility module (no per-instance tables). It does not track any specific state fields.

Functions

`OnStateChange(uiGuid, uiNodeHashName, uiStateHashName)`

Called when the state of an object changes. If the new state hash matches "0x7687DF41", it starts a flame emitter and schedules a timer to start a smoke emitter after a random interval between 12 and 20 seconds.

`_StartSmoke(uiGuid, uiNodeHashName, fxName)`

A helper function that stops the current flame emitter and starts a smoke emitter for the object.

Events

Listens for Event.StateChange to call OnStateChange when an object’s state changes.
Creates a Event.TimerRelative event to call _StartSmoke after a random delay.

Notes for modders

Ensure that OnStateChange is called appropriately to manage the visual effects of the fuel tank.
Customize the flame and smoke emitters by modifying the associated effect names in the code.
Be aware that the random timer interval affects when the smoke emitter starts.
