How to make particles move?

Everyone likes a good atmosphere, that's what makes a custom story good. I was wondering how to make particles move, I'm sure it has to do with path nodes and all. Is it the same for particles as it is for monsters?

Thanks For Answering Big Grin

You can not make particles move.

Really? I could of sworn I've walked into a room in a custom story and it's moved. But I'll take your word for it.

Maybe the particle were created that way or he created multiple particles?

RE: How to make particles move?

A roundabout way to make particles move is to create a new entity in your custom story folder that has no mesh and only a Particle System at 0,0,0. Then make the entity a Move Object and set it so that it can move in one direction at a certain speed for a certain distance. When you change its state in your script when you put it in game, it should make the particle system move in one direction.

If you want it to move in many directions you may have to have the PS-only entity remove itself and create another one in its place when its finished reaching its state.
