I can't seem to get this command to do anything.



This simple little snippet "should" make the emitter move around in a circle. It just sits there emitting particles from the same spot.

That sort of works. At least it's moving now, but how do I move just the emitter and leave the particles behind for a proper smoke trail?

cheat and use the smoke emmiter that is built into physX.

this is what I use for smoke in my weather station project.



the smoke moves in the direction of the wind and force, but the emmiter stays still, might need a bit of both.

check this out, you will need the media files from the spheremapping demo.

So why is it in this code the command PHY SET EMITTER POSITION actually works the way it's supposed to, and in the code I supplied originally it does nothing?

There's got to be something wrong with the position code of the object I'm trying to make the emitter follow.. That's all I can think might be the problem.

this is the line that was killing your emitter.

Geez...

It's always something simple isn't it.

Thanks.

[edit]
It's still being picky, but that was a HUGE step towards making this work.
