Code:

function Create(self)
   self.AccelTimer = Timer();
   self.acceleration = 5; -- acceleration
   self.accelpertime = 1000; -- per time
end

function Update(self)
   if self.AccelTimer:IsPastSimMS(self.accelpertime) then
   self.AccelTimer:Reset();
   self.Vel = Vector(self.Vel.X,self.Vel.Y):SetMagnitude(self.Vel.Magntiude+self.acceleration);
   end
end

Code:

function Update(self)
self.Vel = self.Vel * 1.5 --put your number here
end

Code:

function Create(self)
self.A = <Insert starting speed of choice>;
end

function Update(self)
self.Vel = self.Vel.Normalized * self.A;
self.A = self.A + <Insert increment of choice>;
end

Post subject:	Reversed Air Resistance - Exponential Speed Increases
Hi all. I'm trying to create a particle to be fired from a bomb or from a weapon, that begins with a movement speed of 5, yet increases drastically for each second it's active. I've tried setting a negative AirResistance variable to the particle, yet that does absolutely nothing to the speed at which it progresses. I'm looking for a way to create the desired effect, preferably just by modifying the .ini file, but I'll have a go at Lua if necessary. It seems many variables can be modified by making them negative, I guess I just got my hopes up about AirResistance a bit too early. Thanks in advance!

Code: function Create(self) self.AccelTimer = Timer(); self.acceleration = 5; -- acceleration self.accelpertime = 1000; -- per time end function Update(self) if self.AccelTimer:IsPastSimMS(self.accelpertime) then self.AccelTimer:Reset(); self.Vel = Vector(self.Vel.X,self.Vel.Y):SetMagnitude(self.Vel.Magntiude+self.acceleration); end end Attach that script to your particle.

Thankyou sir, with a bit of number tweaking it worked like a charm

why not just Code: function Update(self) self.Vel = self.Vel * 1.5 --put your number here end ? obviously 1.5 will make it go inordinately fast, but tweaking should be easy enough.

How about this Code: function Create(self) self.A = <Insert starting speed of choice>; end function Update(self) self.Vel = self.Vel.Normalized * self.A; self.A = self.A + <Insert increment of choice>; end ?

How about directly reading from Air resistance and applying only if it's negative?

cause that would be silly when you could do it with an int and save reading the airresistance, and check how it works with PresetMan:ReloadAllScripts()

Right, so you purchased already? To get rid of the crabling, go to your forum profile settings and add your reg key to the corresponding slot.
