EDIT: Solved!
Check this post: Sideways Particle Effect

Hi!
I created this simple wind particle emitter. However, I can't figure out how to make the particles go sideways (all in one direction) instead of upwards.
I would like to avoid rotating it in with the pitch angle the object editor!

Someone knows what to do? :)

Thanks @GhostWolf!
Didn't try that though, as I was trying to figure it out myself at the moment, and was successful.


I remembered that the "Icecrown Throne Gate" had horizontal particles, and figured I'd check how it was done there.
Here's what I did:
  1. Opened the node manager.
  2. Found and clicked "edit node" on BlizParticleExplosion12.
  3. Clicked "rotation".
  4. Their rotation was set to "Hermite" and had this text in the box above it:
1667: { -0.489723, 0.485141, -0.517107, 0.507356 }
InTan: { -0.489723, 0.485141, -0.517107, 0.507356 }
OutTan: { -0.489723, 0.485141, -0.517107, 0.507356 }
8833: { -0.489723, 0.485141, -0.517107, 0.507356 }
InTan: { -0.489723, 0.485141, -0.517107, 0.507356 }
OutTan: { -0.489723, 0.485141, -0.517107, 0.507356 }
I just copied and pasted that into my wind model, and it rotated just as I wanted it.
