 | | | Particle rotation event script.... | Particle rotation event script.... 2004-03-10 - By Dan Yargici
Back
I have a particle cloud with a bunch of instanced characters and their rotation
is set to 'align on velocity' but I would only like this to affect Y rotation.
I thought I might be able to take in the rotationarray for the cloud and set
the x and z rotation back to 0 on every frame but it seems the align on
velocity is applied after the script event, thus cancelling it out.
So the question is... how can I reset these or how can I derive my own Y
rotation from the velocity? I'm not much of a maths head ( I was once, honest!
) so any help would be greatly appreciated.
