something is very wrong. ive worked so hard to figure out wtf im doing with blizparts, but i still cant get it to point any direction but up in war3previewer... i dont know wtf is the matter with it, i get the animations to look perfect in the normal window, all the keys are good, but i cannot make it shoot the particals in the right direction in war3preivewer no matter what i do, i even tried makeing a bone for the particals and having that change directions to direct the flow of particals, but to no avail.... plz, plz some1 help me :( |

I havent had much experience with particle emmitors, but i dont think you can aim the flow by animating it, you have to add a gravity modifier (i dont know how, but just mess around with the particle settings) |

You CAN change the flow of the particles. It doesn't need gravity, but gravity exists as well. (Can be found under spacewarps in 3ds max, then just link the particle to the spacewarp with the link to spacewarp button) Anyway, first of all the particle needs to be attached to a bone BUT thats not everything. The bone HAS TO BE animated! Try f.ex. to rotate it a bit up and down so you hardly notice it ingame but enough to fix the particles the right way. Also, if you only want them to go downwards just set the speed to a negative value. |
