GTA particle effects

[DiSaMe]

SA-MP 0.3c will include objects with no vertices and faces, only particles attached to them. I wanted to check if MTA SA can import particle data of custom DFFs, so that I would know if that would be an advantage of SA-MP or not. I created models with particle effects and tested them in MTA. They worked, and this is the video:

MTA owned SAMP again.

half of them can be achieved via https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Cli ... _functions or some other functions. some of them aren't

[DiSaMe]

With effect functions you can change parameters for some particles, and it's better in this way. But less than half of particles can be created with these functions, so custom DFFs can help a lot.

it would be nice to see a resource made to simplify this for other scripters (I'm particularely interested in the riot fire)

[DiSaMe]

I was thinking about that, maybe I'll make it tomorrow.

Looks good but you should put some exported functions in the resource. Like "createCarWashEffect(x,y,z,size)", "createCokeTrailEffect(x,y,z,size)", "moveEffect(effect,x,y,z)", etc.; so that it's possible to use this as an included script for a resource.

I like the end

You can also attach lights that will have effect on the ground and vehicles

[DiSaMe]

Yes, I tried to do that, it works. But I copied some data from GTA SA files. I couldn't write all data myself because gtamodding.com lacks some 2dfx documentation.

You can use dexx_gta script to make your own lights

Can anyone tell me how to assign particles on a .dff inside 3dsmax??

What do i need as material?

Thanks

[DiSaMe]

I don't even know if there's a script on 3dsmax for importing/exporting DFFs with particles.

[BulleTTime]

so how are these models made?

I basicly want to rotate the direction of a particle (y) but is that possible ???

thanks

[BulleTTime]

it seems i cannot scale - rotate them is that right

[DiSaMe]

If you want to change the direction of particles, rotate the whole object, but I don't know if that works on all directional particles. I made models with a hex editor and RW analyzer, because no modelling was needed.
