I am on the verge of releasing something which, in my opinion, is very good and definitely unique. However, there are somethings I don't remember and need help on: 1. I need a way to make and emission (like a jet pack) spit particles in all directions. I will be adding things as they come along. Please post if you know how to do these things. -Munchkin |

360 separation/spread? |

I tried that I set 'spread' to 360 but it didn't change anything. |

What happened when you did it? Di it go in a straight line? If so, set it to 359. |

Not exactly it shot at about a 45 degree arc from the actor if you see what I am saying. |

Spread is measured in Radians. For 360 degress, use 3.14. |

If you are using this on an actor's jet-pack, then it won't work exactly like you would want it. The particles only come out a few at a time, in random directions, so the circle will be odd. But with something like a digger, the particles are steady, you it will work in a perfect circle. |

... I don't think you know what you're talking about. You could make the jetpack burst (ie: the burst when you hit jump) shoot out a force wave of sorts, if that's what you're asking. It could also be a constant flow of force wave if you wanted. |

That sounds intriguing how would you make it a constant 'flow of force waves'? And by the way thank you Lord Tim, 3.14 did work. EDIT: And another thing, is there a way to make a sprite angle it self to wear it is going/looking? |

If you mean something like bullets, to my understanding that's a no. Attached trails are what give the illusion that the bullet/object is facing the direction it is flying. Otherwise it constantly faces the way it was drawn (though it flips left in-game when needed). Hope this helped a small bit. |
