Anywho if you didnt read the header, I need help with Particles. So could someone make a Tutorial? or Something??

If I had a dollar for every thread title in this section of the forums like this one...

aw you beat me to it =(

Sorry, but if that's the same page in the wiki I remember, it doesn't help. At all. It's not written to 'help', but more as a reference.

I've yet to find a good tutorial on the particle engine. So no need to go all over him about it.

It's good if you know how to script but don't know how to use the particle engine.

Yeah. o_o

And if you don't know how to script, why would you be trying to learn particles before learning how to script? :3

Hmmm we should eventually copy all the v4.0 release notes to the wiki, they were containing a lot of information about the particles, e.g.
http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=62877
(not sure if you can see that thread)

[DustyPorViva]

Well, personally, for me I learn by example.
That's my main problem with it, that it doesn't have a working example that I can mess around with.

EDIT: Just like the one in Stefan's link
That's what the wiki needs.

[zokemon]

I'll be happy to make an example.

[MrAnonymous_P2P]

I tried to learn particles first lol and failed miserably. I wouldn't try it kids.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  with (findImg(200)) {
    // Falling leaves

    // Emitter attributes
    layer = 2;
    x = player.x; y = player.y;
    emitter.delaymin = 0.1;
    emitter.delaymax = 0.3;
    emitter.nrofparticles = 5;
    emitter.emissionoffset = {-12, -15, 50};
    emitter.checkbelowterrain = true;

    // Basic particle attributes
    emitter.particle.lifetime = 20;
    emitter.particle.zoom = 2;
    emitter.particle.image = "mal_particle_rain.gif";
    emitter.particle.rotation = -degtorad(10);

    // Movement
    emitter.particle.zangle = -1;
    emitter.particle.speed = 15;
    emitter.particle.alpha = 1;
    emitter.particle.mode = 0;

    emitter.addglobalmodifier("impulse", 0.2, 0.2, "zangle", "multiply", 0.95, 0.95);
    emitter.addlocalmodifier("impulse", 0, 20,  "zoom", "add", -1.5, -.25);
    emitter.addlocalmodifier("once", 0, 0, "angle", "replace", degtorad(260), degtorad(230));
    emitter.addlocalmodifier("once", 0, 0, "x", "add", -64, 64);
    emitter.addlocalmodifier("once", 0, 0, "zoom", "replace", 0.6, 1.2);
    emitter.addlocalmodifier("range", 0, 100000, "speed", "add", 3, 3);
  }
  setTimer(0.1);
}
function onTimeOut() {
  this.i = findImg(200);
  this.i.x = player.x; this.i.y = player.y;
  if (this.i.emitter.nrofparticles < 200)  this.i.emitter.nrofparticles++;
  setTimer(0.1);
} 


Here's an old emitter I made for rain.
Image attached.

I believe I emulated wind in there, it's an old backup though, so I'm not sure.

So.. that is basically against the rules of just posting the script... And if you didnt notice i asked for Tutorial not just a script.. I believe a tutorial is something that describes each action of a line.. So ya.. I really dont think thats a help, But thanks for trying..

[DustyPorViva]

2. Similarly, do not just post whole scripts for people as a response to their difficulties. If you wish to post a wordy solution, then please feel free; however, please do not post things that people can just copy and paste. It isn't helping people to learn just by doing so. If you'd like to show off your scripts to others, post them in the Code Gallery subforum.

He didn't break any rules. He didn't post because you asked, he posted for strictly teaching purposes. You may not have asked for it, but others, like me, learn by examples. Only reason it's against the rules is if he provided a script for someone who asked for one when they clearly aren't going to try to learn it on their own.
