exarhos2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I have source emitting particles and the source moves. I am using Impulse Activation $FF==1 and Impulse Birth Rate ch("/obj/particles/circle1/divs")+1, so the particle is constant Is there a way to translate particles with their source. So that how ever the source points move, the particles stay with it Example: using a circle as source to emit particle, and the circle translates, the particle should stay at center point at all times. thanks a mil, Christopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exarhos2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 spoke too soon, figured it out, should of gave myself 5 more minutes. appended a point sop to the source and to the POP Merge sop. Then used point("/obj/particles/point3", $PT, "P", 0) in the point sop appended to pop merge sop. if there's any other ways, it would be nice if this could be done in POPs -christopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallkien Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 one way would be to birth particles every frame that live for just one frame. The order would change but $NPT stays the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exarhos2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 good deal, that works good. But Im getting a double the points I need. It starts off at the NPT i want but at frame>=2 it double. Am I missing something. Christopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallkien Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Not sure where but you can limit the number of particles in your network so no new points are birthed until the old ones die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
