Do you mean that the bullet is pulled downward by gravity, or that the bullet is fired out of the gun downwards?

Thanks Duh

Well I had the idea of an artillery strike I wanted to make and I saw that wizcorp had a lightning strike where MOPixels were (spawned?) going downwards so.. I guess the second.

If it's an artillery strike, it would explode. If it shoots downward you would blow up. Please explain better?

Hmm.. I was thinking of shooting a bullet which has a lua script attached to the bullet which spawns the rockets(TDExplosive) in the air and set the velocity so it goes downwards

but after I checked out the lightning strike being ableto spawn the MOPixels going downward with ini I thought of doing something similar to that.

I think he means like an AEmitter that emits the particles downwards. Shook (very cleverly) did this in his mortar strike in his mod pack.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Yeah, you don't need .lua to do that, although it would work better through lua.

Yeah, in the AEmitter's code add
Code:
EmissionAngle = Matrix
      AngleDegrees = [angle you want]

I made the WizCorp mod, and yes you can do it with AEmitters, but I would suggest doing it with Lua. It's far easier.
