Interlopers Particle Effect Thread

Anyone have any idea how to make it so the particles die after a certain amount of time or after a certain distance? I've tried about 50 different things over the last 2 hours and it just fucks it up

Try adding a particle fade and decay, I cant remember which menu its under though.

Also I created a snow effect, the fog is off though, I cant seem to get the fog to rotate?!

Wow, it's not often you see bits of snow quickly flying horizontally/vertically upwards...

Looks nice other than that!

Yeah it's a bit buggy, probably because I set the particle to not go through solid objects, they only seem to freak out when they hit a wall.

Nice! I made a snow effect too, I'll show it once I find out how to get these things in game... I also made a plasmacore thingy that I'll show.

And I tried a fade and decay, I've tried all of those, cull random and about 3 others... None of them have worked.

Yeah I found out that fading something is very difficult when having it fade in, but there are fade in/out options for every parameter you can add, its confusing.

No problem, thank you for thanking me, that was a nice "thank you"





WHERES MAH MONY?!

Oh god of Particle Editor, have my babiesz!

Actually, I've seen snow going sideways plenty of times. It's pretty light, and is easily effected by the wind. I think NightWolf's was one of the best looking simulations of snow i've seen yet in Source.

Yeah, but generally not just one or two flakes out of hundreds...

For all of you who are having problems with lifetime and such, use the the lifetime options in Initializers, but then you HAVE to have LifeTime Decay in Operators for it to work.

First off, I am hereby claiming the patent of my Teleporter/Plasma Core effect.

2nd. I place the particle file in the team fortress 2/tf/particle folder right? Cause its not working ingame. And I copeied+pasted the file name.... I just get an error in console...

Afraid not.

[stoopdapoop]

wow, if anyone figures out how to get the render ropes to work let me know, it appears the have to be constrained, but beyond that I'm confuzzled.

I MADE A PLASMAS CORE TOO!!! It's more just a blob of blue matter though... I can't get it in game either! We need to fix this.

Hmm, true.
