Ambient Birds
Player scare some birds
When the ambient birds module is dropped to the mission either from Eden or Zeus there will be a small chance to each unit to spawn a flock of scared birds out of a nearby tree or bush. This can reveal player's location and AI locations or just give them a scare.
The louder the units in terms of moment speed, vehicles, shooting exc the greater the chance to scaring some birds.
Ambient Fire
Burn Baby Burn- ArmA 3 MCC WIP
When the ambient fire module is dropped to the mission either from Eden or Zeus there will be a small chance in each shots fired or vehicle's explosion to start some bush fire.
There are some condition that will effect the chance to start a fire:
- The flammability of the projectile - the bigger the explosion the more chance it got to start a fire.
- The type of ground the explosion hit - fire can only start on grassy ground.
- The forecast - The higher the humidity the lower are the chances to start a fire.
When a fire starts it will propagate depends on the wind's direction, strength and the present of combustion materials in form of bushes, trees and grass. Which means that a road, or a river can stop fire propagating.
