Re: Rotating emitters? How about attaching it to a MOSRotating and use the MOSRot's AngularVel to do your rotation? That's what I use.

Re: Rotating emitters? Alright, but the thing is that I want the emitter on a HDFirearm.
I'll look into it tomorrow, thanks for the help. |

Re: Rotating emitters? Oh, I don't think you can change the emission rotation on the fly like that. I was thinking you just wanted a rotating emitter floating around. Afaik, you can't change the rotation of an emitter after it has been attached to something without rotating the entire conglomerate.

Re: Rotating emitters? Can't be done, CC's joints are more welds than joints.

Re: Rotating emitters? I want a laser that's going parallel with the shield, so it acts as a defensive weapon.
No, I don't want to make the laser a round that's being fired, the shield can also be used as another weapon, you can bash people with it by clicking. (right now when you click, you bash yourself, usually resulting in exploding yourself. How do I fix this?  ) |

Re: Rotating emitters? So you want a shield where there is a constant stream of laser running accross the length of the shield?

Re: Rotating emitters? Last I checked there was that thing about how emitters wouldn't follow horizontal direction along with the weapon yeah? So what you do is you make the emitter and particles, tweaked so that the emitter creates a constant stream and the particles so that their lifetime ends at the end of the shield. Then you make sure that the emitter emits upwards and attach it so that it is in line with the shield's spriteoffset. I think that should work...

Re: Rotating emitters? Oh, that's just what I want to know, how do I make it emit upwards?
That's actually what I was looking for...  |

Re: Rotating emitters? I do believe the correct code for emitting upwards is
Code: EmissionAngle = Matrix AngleDegrees = -90 Code: EmissionAngle = Matrix AngleDegrees = 90 And that should be problem resolved... |

Re: Rotating emitters? Thank you.
Next time I make a thread, I think I'm going to define my question a tad better. |
