Collision

Is there a way to get particles to show on collision cant seem to see how lol

Is this needed in a script. Could you describe what your trying to achieve

Depending upon the type of collision detection employed. In the collision event call the particle spawn commands. I can set you up a simple demo, I think there is a snippet(yellow section) in the script editor.

Code: Select all

function onInit( objID )
   obj = objID
   heightOffset = 1.7;
   
   effectDuration    = 0         -- Time this effect will live in ms( 1000ms = 1sec ) 0 = constant
   particleFile    = "Fire01"    -- this is a *.skyparticle file without the extension
   
   particle.setEffectDuration(effectDuration)
   particle.setEffectFile(particleFile)
   Fx_Data_ID = particle.createSkyParticleFX() -- create the particle template
   x,y,z = entity.getPosition(obj)
   particleFX_ID = particle.spawnSkyParticleEffect(Fx_Data_ID,x,y+heightOffset,z)
end

function onStop(  )
   particle.deleteParticleFX( particleFX_ID );
end

for any reason really for example if you have a trigger box and anything that collides with it will trigger a particle, like something as simple as 2 boxes one the trigger and if the other box collides then an explosion would happen sort of thing.

The script above can be used to set up the particle. Get the position where you want to spawn the particle then enable the particle. Have a play with script and see what you can do and I will help you where you are stuck

Code: Select all

particle.setEmitting(FX_HND, 1);

can be used to stop and start the effect EG.

Code: Select all

function onKeyDown(key)
   particle.setEmitting(particleFX_ID, 1);
end

function onKeyUp(key)
   particle.setEmitting(particleFX_ID, 0);
end

I could be doing this wrong but all I get is the practical spawning in the middle (black) and a giant one spawn behind it (black)

That looks like atomicity which is the default Particle Universe file.

Please be aware that not all materials work with PU files, but will once we get another crack at them

Whats your script look like
