Particle Throwers revision 2
|
||
|
|
-cl2-
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additions:
|
||
|
|
r2: Cleaned up the code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Files involved:
|
||
|
|
particle.qc (this file)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to implement in a .map file:
|
||
|
|
Stick a 'misc_particles' wherever you want the particles to come from.
|
||
|
|
set "angles" to whatever VECTOR you want the particles to shoot at, and
|
||
|
|
"count" to how many particles to shoot. (for density)
|
||
|
|
Another neat thing I figured I'd add (why not?) was you can also specify
|
||
|
|
"wait" if you want there to be a wait in between 'particle spurts'. If no
|
||
|
|
wait is specified, it will be a continuous stream.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"style" is the color index # of the particles thrown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If anyone has a need for a random "wait" period (maybe for electrical
|
||
|
|
sparks or something?) let me know and I can throw it in very easily.
|
||
|
|
Same goes for toggle-able particle throwers. Just say the werd.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remember self.angles is actually a VECTOR, which means "180 0 0" shoots
|
||
|
|
particles at 180 units/sec to the right.
|
||
|
|
Vector axes are x,y,z, in that order. If the player's yaw is 90 degrees,
|
||
|
|
x is left/right, y is forward/back, z is up/down.
