Pain direction/question

[Derroith]

Aye mates, got two questions for you.

• With blockhead's pain, does it have a point where it emit's from? If so, please tell.
• Is it possible to raise and lower emitters?

Thanks, thats everything I need for now!

Pain emitters are done through the player::emote function, which I believe calls player::spawnExplosion, which I believe spawns a projectile at the player's hack position.

It is possible to adjust the position emitters, but could you elaborate? In other words, what are you trying to do?

i think he wants to find out where the bullet hit, and put an emitter there, maybe lasting?

Just trying to make a personal blood mod that's nice, like lowering the blood amount and adding nicer things.

You're going to have to be specific - why and when are you wanting to adjust the position of an emitter?

[PurpleMetro]

Emitters automatically emit in the center of the player or whatever the main object is.
Not that I know if you can raise or lower emitters

Why? Becuase the blood displays in the blockhead's head area, and it looks horrible.

When? As soon as possible.

Same thoughts, but I was making sure.

You could give your emitter an exclusively downward theta and significant offset.

I've messed with theta and such, cant get it.

Help me out?

Set thetaMin to about 165 and thetaMax to 180.

[Derroith]

Set thetaMin to about 165 and thetaMax to 180.

Thanks, I'll try it out right now :)

Would you rather spawn the emitter at the location damage is actually being dealt, or always in the chest area?

Chest area

Also, its possible for the location.?

Yes it is, so... are you certain you want it to always be located in the chest area?
