Trail not directly, glow, yes.

Glow is a simple ScreenEffect; they're fairly common. Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/Pyro.ini has some examples of the code.

To get a trail of any kind, you have to attach an emitter, then have it emit pinned particles. Even then, it won't be as smooth or accurate as an MOPixel trail.

The strange thing is, when i try to attach a glow to it, it doesn't seem to work.

And can mosrotating particles have seperate frames? i tried it and it doesn't seem to work either.

MOSRotatings don't animate well.

And what's the code you're using for the screen effect?

I think I got it, I was putting it underneath the copy of the MOSrotating, instead of the instance

hmm.. Cortex loads now but the blue glow doesn't work

Code:
AddEffect = MOSRotating
   InstanceName = AC shell Fired
   ScreenEffect = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Glows/BlueTiny.bmp
*mass and other ♥♥♥♥ below*

Forget all the other problems, i fixed them.

but i have a new problem, the emitter for this MOSRotating isn't working
Code:
*deepcheck and ♥♥♥♥ like that*
        AddEffect = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Trail Emitter

What's the Emitter code?

Is it set to EmissionsEnabled = 1? Is BurstTrigger 1 or 0?

BurstTriggered = 0 and emissionsenabled = 1.

It looks like you don't have an offset vector,do you?

It should be like this:

AttachEmitter = AEmitter
CopyOf = Whatever
Offset = Vector
X = 0
Y = 0

What.

Not having an offset just means it would be in the center of the sprite. It wouldn't change anything with the emissions.
