Ok the fx dday smoke is the one I wantbut you cannot angle it in radient you need to write a new tik. Please tell me how to make the smoke go 180 deg the other way (from overview). The smoke heads towards zero.

Thanks guys.

Setting an angles key in radiant should do the job

Thats the thing bro it doesnt do a thing. Thing too many times lol.

Could you please at least give me your best guess?

I think this line may be the culprit:

accel 16.00 0.00 4.00

That could cause a 16 units/s^2 acceleration along the x-axis and 4 along the z-axis. Try changing it to:

accel -16.00 0.00 4.00

Yes thats it, I changed 16 to -16.

Thanks
