  MOPixels with GlowsHow would one add a glow sprite to an MOPixel?
Second, how would one make the MOPixel emit glows, for example, if fired across a long distance, creating a trail of glows behind it? |

Re: MOPixels with Glows 1.
Code: AddEffect = MOPixel PresetName = Particle Electro Boomer Glow Mass = 0.001 AirResistance = 0 GlobalAccScalar = 0 Sharpness = 0 LifeTime = 100 RestThreshold = 500 HitsMOs = 0 GetsHitByMOs = 0 Color = Color R = 255 G = 0 B = 255 Atom = Atom Material = Material CopyOf = Air TrailColor = Color R = 255 G = 0 B = 255 TrailLength = 100 ///// glow code ///// ScreenEffect = ContentFile FilePath = Boomerangs.rte/Electro Boomer/Sprites/BlueBig.bmp EffectStartTime = 0 EffectStopTime = 3600000 EffectStartStrength = 0.2 EffectStopStrength = 0.2 EffectAlwaysShows = 1 ///// glow code ///// 2. Give the MOPixel a Lua script that spawns a MOPixel after every X pixels. Code: function Create(self) self.trailspacing = 10; -- pixel space in between particles self.lastposition = Vector(self.Pos.X,self.Pos.Y); end function Update(self) local pardist = (self.Pos-self.lastposition); if pardist.Magnitude >= self.trailspacing then local trailpar = CreateMOPixel("Trail Particle"); -- Particle PresetName here trailpar.Pos = self.lastposition + pardist:SetMagnitude(self.trailspacing); MovableMan:AddParticle(trailpar); self.lastposition = Vector(self.Pos.X,self.Pos.Y); end end |

Re: MOPixels with Glows You can't attach a
Changed the script a bit: Code: function Create(self) self.trailspacing = 10; -- pixel space in between particles self.lastposition = Vector(self.Pos.X,self.Pos.Y); end function Update(self) local pardist = (self.Pos-self.lastposition); if pardist.Magnitude >= self.trailspacing then local trailpar = CreateMOPixel("Trail Particle"); -- Particle PresetName here trailpar.Pos = self.lastposition + pardist:SetMagnitude(self.trailspacing); MovableMan:AddParticle(trailpar); self.lastposition = self.lastposition + pardist:SetMagnitude(self.trailspacing); end end |

Re: MOPixels with Glows Thanks, guys. I'm using it to create a unique digger.

Re: MOPixels with Glows While your script does work, CaveCricket, it seems to spawn only eight or so pixels, and those move very slowly. How can I make it spawn more that move faster?

Re: MOPixels with Glows It's working better now, but still isn't perfect for super-fast particles. The velocity is also a little funky.
Code: function Create(self) self.lastposition = Vector(self.Pos.X,self.Pos.Y); self.mapwrapx = SceneMan.SceneWrapsX; self.trailspacing = 10; -- pixel space in between particles self.particlespeed = Vector(10,0); -- Velocity of trail particles self.rotatevel = true; -- Whether or not to rotate the trail particles' vel depending on the main particle's vel (true or false) end function Update(self) local pardist = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.lastposition,self.Pos,self.mapwrapx); local traillength = math.floor(pardist.Magnitude/10); for i = 1, traillength do if pardist.Magnitude >= self.trailspacing then self.trailpar = CreateMOPixel("Particle Test Trail B"); -- Particle PresetName here self.trailpar.Pos = self.lastposition + pardist:SetMagnitude(self.trailspacing); if self.rotatevel == true then self.trailpar.Vel = self.particlespeed:RadRotate(self.Vel.AbsRadAngle); elseif self.rotatevel == false then self.trailpar.Vel = self.particlespeed; end MovableMan:AddParticle(self.trailpar); self.lastposition = self.lastposition + pardist:SetMagnitude(self.trailspacing); end end end For really fast particles, try this. |

Re: MOPixels with Glows I just need it to work at about 100 velocity.
