Post subject:  AEmitters directionality

I'm trying to create a carbine that has a functional bayonet, and to do it I added an AEmitter to the gun in the front part of it.

It works fine, except for one detail; if I aim anywhere with the gun or actor facing to the left, the particles move to the right.

How can I solve that?

The code of the emitter so far:
Code:
AddEffect = AEmitter
   PresetName = Bayonet
   Mass = 0.1
   HitsMOs = 0
   GetsHitByMOs = 0
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = ExperimentalStuff.rte/Bayonet.bmp
   FrameCount = 1
   SpriteOffset = Vector
      X = -6
      Y = -1
   AtomGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Air
      Resolution = 2
      Depth = 5
   DeepGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Air
      Resolution = 3
      Depth = 5
   DeepCheck = 0
   JointStrength = 10000
   JointStiffness = 1
   DrawAfterParent = 1
   EmissionAngle = Matrix
      AngleDegrees = 0
   EmissionOffset = Vector
      X = 6
      Y = 1
   AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOPixel
         CopyOf = Particle Bayonet
      Spread = 0
      MaxVelocity = 40
      MinVelocity = 40
      PushesEmitter = 0
   EmissionEnabled = 1
   EmissionsIgnoreThis = 1
   ParticlesPerMinute = 1200
   BurstSize = 2
   BurstScale = 1
   BurstDamage = 0
   BurstTriggered = 0
   EmissionDamage = 0
   Flash = None
   FlashOnlyOnBurst = 0


Thanks.

Seems like a solution.

I'll try that and check the results, if not, I'll probably go on lua.

Have several AEmitters that emit sharp MOPixels that stay in place and spread the emitters on the bayonet. Kind of like the Dummy Repeater but instead have about 6 of them on the bayonet at different positions.

I just realised that the attached emitter doesn't rotate along with the gun.

And if I add a lua script to the emitter making it face the direction of the actor aim angle?

I'll try that.

EDIT: Why do I always forgot the important details?

I could make it work, but it raped to much terrain, was too overpowered and made the game crash when stabbing a dreadnought (or a dropship).

Guess I'll have to scrap this idea until B25.

Could it have crashed merely because of lag from inflicting too much damage at one moment?

Who knows.

But I'll seriously work out more this idea. And a lot.
