Hi! How do I make an emittor that "sprays" the particles in a certain direction? In a car ie the fumes are sprayed out of the exhaust pipe. Note that I don''t want a moving emittor but moving particles created by the emittor, depending on the emittors direction. Thanks, /Bo

In the emitter definition, use this line:

EMITTER_SPRAY -90.000000 0.000000 0.000000 2.000000 8.000000

The first 3 numbers are the rotation. Next number is the sideways spread amount (random up to this value). The last number is the velocity in the direction of the spray.

Is this specific for beta5? Where do I add this? Is it
a Macro?

This can only be done using the particle system from the character libraries. This line is part of the particle definition file (.PRT)

The other particle system that is in the main libraries does not support spraying in a direction.
