Author Topic: Laser Projectile  (Read 1770 times)


The only problem with orient particles is it's an Emitter function, and projectiles are only allowed to a single trail emitter, which is unfortunate. Otherwise I would have stuck filler Dots to make the lasers seem a bit less "flat" when looking into them.

This is what I mean:




Of course it's either this or a line of dots. As long as you don't zoom in it's not bad at all.

Edit: Also useEmitterColours does not work with projectiles, so the laser's stuck to a single colour.

Oh WOW! :O That's AMAZING! Not what I had in mind when I suggested this, but those ideas wouldn't have worked out anyways. That's really amazing!

Damn it Muffin, you make more emitter stuffs better then anyone, Now you just need to figure out to have the collumn emitters to stay the way they are on a 1x1 and the same in a 2x2 and ect.

Yeah I asked around about that, and it's not possible without engine changes :(

Edit
Here it is, I'll probably make more different projectiles and release them in a pack later or something, in that process I'll clean the explosion a bit but there's no reason why you guys can't have fun with it in the meantime.

Hackish scripts could do it but it might screw with the emitter spawning thing and double lag.
