teamcolor particle effects?

[Zoythrus]

that's cool. i tried giving the speed a negative number and the projectile went backwards!

[Fluffy203]

yea its really fun to play with , but if you want it a certain way it takes awhile to get it just right

[Zoythrus]

i dont see the point in using it though

[Fluffy203]

In negative numbers , easy lets say soul drain or you suck the life from a unit bam , you have it come back to you , so set it negative , but make it get pulled down by gravity at the same time just time it right and bam you got a soul drain or suck life attack.
//set it to parabolic
//negative value
//get the arch just right
//make gravity do it's thing
//BAM AWESOME ATTACK that no one thought of =)

what exactly does gravity do? (ive messed with it, and i see no change)

[Fluffy203]

gravity come on man lol like what holds you to the ground , it pulls whatever particle you are using towards the ground 

[Zoythrus]

i dont see a change though

[Fluffy203]

you should , that is weird that you don't cause you should lol

The gravity affects the tail of the particle, the particle head stays on track while the particle tail gets pulled down by gravity, I've tried it before.

[Zoythrus]

whats the point of that? can i have a good example?

I love "quad" you can make anything look far better.

Some words about the current particles:

A single particle is spawned at a given position. Tt has a color, a direction and a speed and its start energy
With every step the particle looses one energy point, so it slowly turns from his energy color to the color wich is given in no energy.
Gravity is a a value, that is constantly rising the speed in y-direction with every step the particle lives. ( yspeed=yspeed-gravity )
In the end of particle lifetime it typically reaches an energy of 0 and disappears with the next step.
But if there are too many particles in this particle system ( high emission rate and high start energy effect this ).
The particles may dissapear earlier. A particle system is currently limited to an amount of 200 particles per particle system.
If there are 200 living particles and a new particle should be emissioned one of the existing particles with lower energy is simply removed and reused for the new particle. This is not really good but its the way it is. Maybe I add a switch for the maximum amount of particles one day,
but at the moment you have to use a second particle system if you want more then 200 living particles.

That is straight from the code , best explanation yet 

[Zoythrus]

no, that works, thanks titi and fluffy, this can be locked now

Well, by all means lock it, it's your topic.
