How do I rotate Particles in Magos?

[xXMephistoXx]

I'm making some particles for a sword model of mine in Magos Model Editor, but I can't seem to get it to rotate, I want it to go along the blade, not up away from the sword, I guessed I just edited the nodeand rotated it, but when I do, the particle appears randomly around, but in a straight 'x' line, randomly on 'y' and 'z'...
Please help me, find the answer, thanks anyway!

I believe to rotate an emitter, you have to make at least one animation, where the particle is started at that angle, and ends at that angle.

Thanks for replying, Chriz, but that didn't work, remember, I do it in Magos... I have a stand animation, else I wouldn't see any particles...
I edit node, press the 'Rotation' button, then inserts:

0: { 0, 90, 0, 0 }
2000: { 0, 90, 0, 0 }

(2000 is the end of my animation... It's 0/2000 Animation...)

1) Open up Node Manager and double-click on your particle emitter.
2) On the top-right you will see a box labeled "Latitude". This designates in what direction the particle will go.

• 0 = straight up
• 90 = upwards and to left and right and in between, but not downwards
• 180 = goes everywhere
• -90 = only goes in a 90 angle
• -180 = only goes downwards
• -270 = only goes in a 270 degree angle

Hope this helps.

Well, this actually helps alot!
Thanks!
But, how do you get it to go to the side you want it to? Left or right, because when tilted 90 degrees it will still go in one way I can't decide. LEft, right, forward or back?

I dunno. Just play around with it. Maybe try rotating it too.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Doesn't work whith rotating, it just appears randomly around the place...
I tried different things, but still didn't work...

why dont you just lower the life span, crank up the with, and put the emitter in the middle of the sword so that the emitter spreads left and right and covers the sword?

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Because i want it to go up the sword along the blade, not spread...

 

[Pyritie]

Hmm. Post the model. I can do it for you.

I'd rather to send it on E-mail, incase of ripp offs... Can you PM me your E-Mail?
