XY Quad - how to make it work?

[HappyTauren]

When I use it on a particle emitter, it doesn't display at all, is there some trick to it?

 

[Infrisios]

No, if you add it it should just make all particles face the direction of the z-axis.
Maybe you spawn them underground?

I think you need to tick in "line emitter" too for it to work properly.

If I set XY Quad, it doesn't actually show the emitter at all, and line emitter doesn't do anything as far as I see.

 

[Fingolfin]

have you tried it ingame?
XY quad works for all i'm concerned. You will need to tick the following:

head
x/y quad
line emitter

Well, if you know a way to fix it, then try Simply doesn't work for me in game, when I play "Rain" animation.

I found this in a post by RDZ:

XYQuad does actually work; you can see it in the Spell Breaker's feedback emitter. However, when creating emitters from scratch, they fail. I am not entirely sure why; but butchering an existing XYQuad emitter rather than starting from zero makes them work perfectly.

By the way, that water edit was a really great idea. Let me know if you get it to work, i could make good use of that model.

It already works, it is just that ripples only look fine when seen from a high angle. ifrane gave me permission to edit it (the base is his).

I just compared the .mdl text readout of the spell breaker missile with a custom made particle emitter with XY quads. It did not seem to differ one bit, yet the one works, and the other doesn't. Gonna try to experiment a bit more with this tomorrow and see if i can get it to work somehow.

That'd be great, I really have no time to mess with mdl code as I have a lot of work to do

Wow, and he posted that today?
He must have read your mind!

Well, i guess you learn something every day!

And his demonstration uses the same idea and even the texture I used, that bit is sort of creepy xD
