Hi guys.

I was recently modding a jetpack, with the intention of making a smoke trail using pinned smoke effects, (mosparticles with a few frames). but when I pinned them, they didn't animate, even when I added the SpriteAnimMode and friends variables as found in brains.ini. when I unpinned the MOSParticles, they animated perfectly, but of course didn't look good/like I had planned.

Any suggestions? What animates even when pinned (other than an actor, that's just messy).

Did you try MOSRotatings? You could also set the particles to have GlobalAccScalar = 0, no collisions, and emitted with 0 vel to get the same effect.

You could try a high air resistance instead of pinning.

last time i messed with air resistance it ended badly...

it stayed like that for a while...

AirResistance = 1

thanks, I'll try this when I can.

to try:

-Use mosrotatings instead.
-Use airresistance = 1, in conjunction with GlobalAccScalar = 0, no collisions, and emitted with 0 vel.

hopefully mosrotatings will work, because emitting with 0 velocity makes the jetpack less effective, so I'd have to tweak it and all that kind of stuff again.

thanks again, I'll probably be able to try this stuff out... monday.

AirResistance = 1 means you can emit at any speed and get the full effect, and the particle wont move. you wont need to touch the globalaccscalar, because airresistance effects the y plane aswell.
