Partcile systems as children.....

Post by Caecus »

I felt like attaching a fire particle system to my marhmello hero... after all what could be cooler than a giant flaming marshmello? Unfortunately when my marshmello rotates so does the particle system... this doesn't seem right since a particle system should be billboarded....

A possible problem might be that the heirachy rotation is performed after the billboarding? Easiest solution would be to reverse this order... but does that have any side effects?

As always, I'm no expert at this, hopefully Niko can takea quick look and give his opinion :)

Oh, it's a bug, sure. Put it on my todo list. :)
Your' re right I think I don't look at the total transformation when drawing the billboards, but it should not be hard to fix it.
