Rotating Particle Effects

I can't rotate "ps_orb_room_portal_start.ps" but I can rotate other Particle Effects like "ps_water_stream.ps".

I went looking around in the Particle Editor, but I could not find anything to let me rotate the portal particle. Can anyone help?

RE: Rotating Particle Effects

You talking about revolution or particle spinning? Revolution requires you mess around with the Start positions.

RE: Rotating Particle Effects

Revolution just makes the particles spin in a strange spherical pattern?

I just want to rotate the the particle so it can face any direction I wish it to. Right now it only faces in one direction, and using the Rotate or Scale tool do nothing in the Level Editor.

RE: Rotating Particle Effects

Oh, you mean that kind of rotation. I hear if you create a particle system at an entity (or area), you can control the direction of the particle system since it assumes the axis of the entity. However, i have yet to verify this. If it doesn't work, then you'll have to manually edit the particle system each time you want it to face a different direction. Though, Movement -> General -> Coord System might have something to do with it too.

RE: Rotating Particle Effects

It's like Billboards with me... I rotate them till I am blue in the face... and can never actually get them to rotate, they always face the same direction in the editor...

You can always mess with particles in the particle editor Smile
