Particles

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 05/15/2004 (5:39 am) · 4 replies

I notice in the particle class there is a velocity but no direction vector. Is the windCoefficient the only affector for direction of say rising smoke? If so, where is the wind direction set?

Lol, dunno about windCoefficient, haven't understood most of that part myself yet - but.. I think the Wind is set in a seperate datablock or in the "Sky" datablock - not sure though.

AFAIK the wind direction is set in the sky datablock in the mission file. Something like 'windVelocity = "0.1 0.1 0";'.

Particle windCoefficient is the % wind veloscity you want to apply to a particle, the max being the sky windVelocity setting.
