What a drip!
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2003 10:25 pm
I have been trying to make a drip tiki file because the one in the game doesn't work. Getting the drop of water to fall was no problem, but making it interact with a water brush (spawn rings on the surface) is making my head swim.
I tried to make the drop a bullet, but that failed. I tried using the ring shader (in the effects shader) as a decal, but that just made a white flashing ring at the bottom of the pond. So now I am trying to spawn the bullet hit rings, but with no luck so far. Below is my current effort.
I found MOH Client Commands Reference Guide in the Spearhead sdk and it has this:
collision [?water?] Turns on collision for the tempmodels (saves CPU if you don?t need collision ). Add the water keyword if you want the particles to collide with water.
But, I don't think I am adding the keyword right because the drop just goes all the way to the bottom of the pond--if I don't fade it, or shorten it's life. The sound doen't work either.
Any ideas, on how to stop my head from spinning like a top, would be very useful!
