Interlopers Particle Effect Thread

I want to bath in money.

Sorry to ultra bump but I have a question. I was looking at the EP2 particles and I saw that they made multiple particles then they merged them all together so you could preview them as a whole and use them all in one particle. How do you do this?

[stoopdapoop]

just add the particles you want to the "child" list

[Armageddon]

Oh okay.

[Armageddon]

Another question. How do you make a particle stay on a flat plain. and how do you make them get bigger the longer they are alive?

Another question. How do you make a particle stay on a flat plain.

How do you mean? You could just generate them in a sphere or rectangular-solid spawning area, and then restrict the Z axis to get a circle or rectangle...?

I was experimenting a while back with a particle-effect for skybox clouds (since found the bug and am using the old solution) and was able to get a system of "clouds" which rotated a central point that way.

How do you restrict the z axis?

[Terr]

Initializer -> Position Within Box Random
Just set min to -1 -1 0 and max to 1 1 0 and it'll generate them only in a square.

Or perhaps two Constraint -> Passing through a plane items in order to keep it from leaving a thin area?

Finally got Fire and smoke trails to work!








Just some recent things I've been working on!

[korge]

yeah. we all know you are the best particle dude here ^^

[jangalomph]

Thanks ^^

I've been trying to replace the crappy water impact with a particle. Looks good.

Train me... I must learn this awesomeness....

Or maybe I'll actually go practice....

[jangalomph]

Well there isn't much to "train" you with. I generally edit valves particles because it saves me time instead of creating a completely new particle. But i mean just edit it, play with it, find out what things do. velocities and random scales etc. And you can get some very cool effects
