Is there any way to remove, or hide, the smoke on the "Medium Fire" model?
I need it for an ability that will leave a trail of fire behind a unit when it walks, and the smoke makes it look odd.

If it is not possible in the editor, do you know of any fire model I can use?
(I checked SC2Mapster, but couldnt seem to locate anything usefull)
(Also, I cant seem to find any models that are already in the game, that suits my need).

Sorry I don't think you can. However here is a list of similar models that should be suitable. Some of them are nearly identical to the FireMedium model (without the smoke) so maybe you missed them? I would recommend TerranBuildingFireSmall.

- Assets/Effects/Terran/FirebatHitSprite/FirebatitSprite.m3
- Assets/Effects/Terran/FireImpact/FireImpact.m3
- Assets/Effects/Terran/HellionBeamImpact/HellionBeamImpact.m3 (Use the Stand 01 animation for no smoke)
- Assets/Effects/Terran/TerranBuildingFireSmall/TerranBuildingFireSmall.m3
- Assets/Effects/Terran/TerranBuildingFireMedium/TerranBuildingFireMedium.m3
- Assets/Effects/Terran/TerranBuildingFireLarge/TerranBuildingFireLarge.m3

If I apply the "HellionBeamImpact" model, it will only play it once, and the fire dies out after 1.2 sec. Is there any way to make the actor play the model animation from 1 to 1.2 and then go to the start again?

I assume by "go back to the start" you mean that you want to just keep playing the animation between 1.0 and 1.2s? Delete all the events in the actor and then create these:
Code: 
ActorOrphan
  Destroy
Effect.<Your_Persistent_Effect>.Start
   Create
ActorCreation
   AnimPlay Stand Stand 0 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 asAutomatic 1.0
ActorCreation
   TimerSet 0.200000 AnimTimer
TimerExpired
   TimerName AnimTimer
   AnimPlay Stand Stand 0 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 asAutomatic 1.0
TimerExpired
   TimerName AnimTimer
   TimerSet 0.200000 AnimTimer

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
