War 3 model editor...

Problem #1: If I mark an emitter with XYQuad ( in the emitter menu), it shows in the model editor, but not in the WE.

problem #2: Is there anyway to make particles "interlace" together? In the ME (model editor), they look individual, and appear behind other particles, while in the WE, the particles are shown as one big chunk, and depending on your view, you can only see one chunk.

Problem #3: Is there anyway to make particles stop dead in their tracks? or at least slow down?

Thnx for answering.

1. Only way I ever got XYQuad emitters to work was modding one that was already there. Magos' is funky with them.

2. Magos' doesn't show particles fully... Certain properties don't have any effect, some have the wrong effect (like width and length being the wrong way around)... You'll have to experiment and live with it.

3. Animated speed/gravity setting?

to 3:

animated speed will launch out particles at different speed, but those that already exist wont stop.
And gravity brings the particles down, stopping them from going further, but it still brings them down.

And I know to make a emitter XyQuad'd in notepad, I only have to add
"XYquad,"

What I need to know is should I put it between two lines in particular or not, and if it will even work.

Doesn't matter where you put the tag, as long as it's not inside something like rotation or whatever.

If my response to 3 doesn't work, then there is no way.
