Before I go on explaining, someone here is going to say why didnt you post this on facepunch, well the answer to that is well you see garynewman made a iphone app and i left a reply to his thread saying it was not fun so he bans me lol for 1 day.
Now ok, here is my problem
As some of you may know I'm working on this Machinima.com series called Operation Reaper which takes place in iraq in the middle east and basicly these soldiers are in a helicopter flying over a desert location when a RPG man takes the helicopter out before they reach the LZ (landing zone).
I have already done all the major scripting/animation work for this I just need someone with an idea on how to do the scene where it gets hit.
So I got some people to make me some gibs/debris and I made a few particle effects.
My question is I need some kind of lua script or something that when a certain numpad is presed or when the squence helicopter animation reaches a certain frame it triggers the gibs/particles I made to spawn and fall.
In the end the helicopter looks like it has taken damage and well bits of metal falling off it when actually its just spawning.
thanks for reading and I hope someone has an idea
