yeah FreeCrapper did do missile trails quite well (not the missiles thought!) thats good thinking there... good man


'dispurtion' effect with decay time of 40 secs....

why not just points? (notice the S)

You could just do it spewing one or two widgets per frame (The widget doesn't need to move, missiles leave stationary smoke behind, it is them that is doing all the moving). If that widget could be made to enlarge and fade simultaneously, it would probs look pretty good

P.S. I think Bobboau has abandoned thread ;o) hehehehe

flipside....that's just a particle spew...

[Flipside]

Yes, that's exactly what we are saying We are asking for the Particle systems to be enhanced so that Missiles can spew particles more effectively, and the same engine can be used for thrusters on ships, Nebulae etc There are many ways of doing it, depending on what you want to do. Kalthireth's idea is a good one too, but I think it all boils down to needing more flexibility in the particle system

Edit : Yes, i know there is a particle spew system already for weapons, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on it, but I think a more advanced system would make a lot of things easier/better for modders

Anyone here played Tachyon? Those are the nebulas I want to see...

Speaking of Tachyon, Shrike, you still have my CD

I'd like to see particle-spewing engines, rather than the blocks we have now.
Like, when you start the engine up from a velocity of zero, it gives a really big flare, then narrows down into a coherent flame.

Now that would be nice.
