Static shapes with a particle emitter

by Tom · in Torque Game Engine · 07/11/2006 (8:45 am) · 4 replies

Hi, i read that by itself its impossible to mount emmiters to shapes, however, i also read a lot of work arounds, i tried them , but i cant seem to get them to work.

i created a shape, that rotates, and has mountpoints on its arms, i want to mount a particle emitter on each mountpoint. any ideas? (it would also be amazing if i would have to change the source code, since i jsut had a rebuild with multiple viewports)

*does the fake weapon idea really not work? - i though it did, but any idea would be great - did anyone get it TO WORK?*

I only make a super small item and mount it and use that emitter, it works really well.
