Title: StarAura Rain
Post by: Wishflight on July 27, 2011, 06:03:09 pm
I was just wondering if it's possible to use the StarAura as a weather particle. And if possible, can anyone explain to me in great detail how exactly to make stars rain from the sky? Like, step-by-step, or an example if anyone's ever done it before with a different thing, and I think it has been done. I would greatly appreciate any help.

So, open the "aura" particle file {With notepad}. Select the particle, erase it, and copy this into notepad:
Code: [Select]
particle_system StarAura1
{
    material FXMat/Star1
    particle_width  10
    particle_height 5
    cull_each       true
    quota           10000
    billboard_type  oriented_common
    common_direction 0 -1 0
    
    emitter Box
    {
        angle           0
        emission_rate   1200
        time_to_live    3
        direction       0 -1 0
        velocity     400
        colour_range_start  0.3 0.75 0.3
        colour_range_end    0.7 0.75 0.7
        width           1
        height          1
        depth           0
    }

    affector LinearForce
    {
        force_vector      20 -400 40
        force_application add
    }
}

Now, click the "file" button in the corner, click "save as", and save it as "StarAura1.PARTICLE". Now, copy the "aura" material, the "StarAura1" particle file, and the "star" .png {All in the "particles" folder} And paste them into the "Sky" folder {FeralHeart->Media->Sky}. Open FH, go to "tools", open "sky maker", and click on the "weather" tab. Select "LightRain". Change the "particle" to StarAura1. There you go!

Oh. Opps. You have to change the "aura" material that is in the "Sky" folder. Open the "aura" material file. Change the material from "FXMat/Star" to "FXMat/Star1" :)

Is it possible to do the same thing with a self made particle, say, Blue Flame?

  Yes, I believe it is.

But you have to change the name and all.

EDIT: If it crashes while you try it, leave the particle in the folder 'particles' and just load it regularly in the sky maker.
