Particle question

[xXziroXx]

How can I make a particle do something once it has moved to the location I want?

For example, once the rain has has gone from # z to 0 z, I want it to show a splash on that location (the x of the rain change as well of course) - how would I do that?

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  with ( findImg( 200))
  {
    image = "bomb.png";
    x = 100;
    y = 100;
    z = 5;
    layer = 4;
  }
  player.chat = findImg( 200).z; // returns 5
} 


You can use that for emitters too, like a loop outside the emitter

findImg( 200).z returns 5

Well, I know I could use a loop for it, I was wondering if there were a way to do it WITHOUT a loop, a local modifier or something.

What you use to lower the z?

PHP Code:

particle.movementvector = {cos(serverr.env.wind.angle)*serverr.env.wind.strength, -sin(serverr.env.wind.angle)*serverr.env.wind.strength, -20};

Well, I dunno if there is a built-in command for that, but meanwhile you could use a loop

I want to have particle rain that turns into splash particles. Something tells me that this will suck to do.

I believe you want dropemitter.

This was added back in v4.03 and Stefan posted a sample here: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=62877
