Particle affects around a objects collision mesh...

#1 Anyone?... This is very important....

Please help.

#2 What's your question? :) What you suggest is certainly do-able. Maybe just iterate over all the vertices on the mesh each tick and emit a few particles from each one?

I think they support that...it's pretty useful nonetheless

#4 Hey guys, thanx for the replys.

I mean just to have teh splash be made around the object so say it's a cylinder the splash will be bade not from just one point but in the shape of a cylinder, depending on the way it lands. I just don't know how to go about it, I've tried many things got some results but didn't look great and was fairly buggy. Any idea's?

Thanks, Max

#5 Did you try the splash object used with the player object?

#6 Hey,

Yeah, I tried that, got a splash but it didn't work correctly, it made the bounding box of the player even though I had changed it all, so thats out. Any other ideas?

Thanks, Max

#7 Made the bounding box of the player?

#8 Hey,


I mean that is made the particle affects as though the bounding box of the player was on the barrel. For instance when the barrel rolled into the water weh n it was a good 3 feet under the water it was still emitting particles from a few feet above the barrel as though it was using the players bounding box. Do you understand?

#9 Er... the splash effect I speak of doesn't use any particles?

#10 It doesn't? So you mean that the players splash isn't a particle emmiter?
