Moving a Particle Emitter
First the story. I'm trying to make a new effect on Zodiac using the Blessing of Stamina gani as a template, since it makes an image float around behind, and in front of the player. I made a particle with a trail effect, and I'm trying to figure out how to move the emitter along the path that blessing of stamina uses. The problem is, I can't for the life of me figure out how to move it. And I have to move the emitter in order to retain the trailing effect. So moving the particle isn't an option here. Does anyone know how to do this? :confused:
This is the one that I had figured would work:
(I've also tried with(findimg(200)){emitter.x += stuff;emitter.y += stuff;} with no success.)
