So, in trying to work on a mod idea, I came across a problem: I have an emitter attached to the body of an actor. This emitter emits pinned MOSParticles with a glow effect. The thing is, it seems that if these particles are located where the actor's body is, the particles are "covered" by the body, and the glow doesn't show up. This kinda ruins my plans to give my actor's body a glow.

Anybody know a solution to this problem? Or perhaps another angle from which to attack it?

If you want to see the problem in action, check out my attachment.

Are you going for a trail effect of glows with this? Or just a fixed glow on the actor?

If the latter, you could just put the glow on the emitter's flash.
Or maybe not have an emitter at all and have a null glowey attachable. If that would work, it would be simpler.

If the prior, I think Crobos had a trail like that, but I'm not sure. It'd be worth taking a look.

Could it be something to do with hitsmos and getshitbymos on the particles?
Other than that I don't know.

youre all wrong.
fixed. also cleaned up the code that referenced darkstorm.rte.
i like how he moves, but i think you need a lot more sparkles, and a higher frequency of emission, as my trail gets ugly quickly.
for the record, it was

that you were missing.
cheers

Im not sure but you are attaching glow to actor.You can attach actor on glow.

dude, its fixed.. and you cant attach anything to a glow, its just an overlayed effect on something.

Whoops, I had darkstorm references? Though I got them all.

Also, Geti, certainly you don't think that this is all I was going to do with the guy? Though I have to say, I kinda want to keep the particle count to a bare minimum. I plan on having a lot of these guys out at once, and would like to avoid lag. Still, there's still things I plan to do with it. I just wanted to fix this one problem.

I have a similar problem with a cape going behind a leg, but I don't think a line of code about effect will change it, and drawbeforeparent or w/e the variable is doesn't help, any suggestions?

if its part of an actor (and im assuming it is) then:
attach it after the leg in question, in the actor's code. move the "addattachable =" and all attached code down below it all. and turn drawafterparent on, if it isnt, but you mentioned it was.

Won't that move it with the leg?

no, no, you misunderstand me.
in the code, written as a dummy, not actual code, itll be like this

cut the addatachable code, and place it [i]below[/b] the fgleg/bgleg bit. then it will be attached after them, and therefore infront of them. i think

To my knowledge DrawAfterParent (?) draws the object, well, in front of the parent object, which in this case, is the torso. Because the legs are added later, you cant really do anything about it, since they are added "on top" of the existing limbs/attachments.

nah, that's what I had already
