| Summary | 0003962: Allow scripts to use the World particle system |
|---|
| Description | Add a new script event to allow mappers and script objects to use the alternative particle system in 2.03.
Existing TDM particles are tied to an entity. If the entity moves, the entire particle system moves. It turns out that we have a second particle system, where particle effects can exist independently in the world. Useful for trailing smoke. |
|---|
| Additional Information | It could do with a couple of tweaks: it draws its quads a couple of times extra each frame during lightgem passes, for example, (but then so do all particles); its particles won't be softened by Soft Particles 0003878. Those issues can be fixed in 2.04. The concern for this tracker issue is to allow it to be used in TDM 2.03 by adding a script event that gives access to idGameLocal::EmitSmoke().
The alt particle system is implemented in "SmokeParticles.cpp" and has smoke-oriented function names, but it can be used with any particle effect. |
