Particle Emitter

Hi

Does anybody know if the particle emitter works with Hiroto's Bullets script?

I can get particle array to drop objects and bounce off a plane, but not the emitter.

Regards

maybe next update.

Ok, thanks for letting me know.

Is this still the case

I can get objects to bounce, but not when they are used with an emitter.

The emitter does respond to gravity and wing though.

Cheers

I don´t think you can mix Particle/Instancing system and Bullet Dynamics.
How many particles you´re trying to implement into your scene?

Just a bit of ongoing learning really

I'm working on animations that illustrate how malware gets past some protection and is blocked by others.

It was an idea I was kicking around this w/e that didn't really work, so I went to a single particle and it was fine.

I liked the idea of particles bouncing off relief and looking organic as they go in different directions.

Hi Andy.
Just a quick hack: Landscape needs to be "concave" at the rigid body tag. I used separate objects at different placements (no overlapping) with initial velocity and different releasing in time.
Check out the reviewed file.

That's pretty much what I was thinking -- Thanks

Frank

I'll have a play with that and use it for learning ..

Double Thanks
