Would like to learn a little bit more about Particles/Emitters/Trails
2 replies, posted
Hello everyone!
So, I'm pretty new to lua and would like some help with Particle Trails to PointShop.
I've searched around on google for a while trying to find some good information but I only found outdated stuff.
I'd like to have the AR2Tracer effect

So, I started off with the basics
ITEM.Name = 'Swagmeister Trail'
ITEM.Price = 25000
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "swagmeister", "admin", "supervip" }
ITEM.NoPreview = true
And now I need help with the rest, I found this hook on the wiki
[CODE]
function EFFECT:Init( data )
self.particles = 4
end
function EFFECT:Think()
return false
end
function EFFECT:Render()
local vOffset = data:GetOrigin() + Vector( 0, 0, 0.2 )
local vAngle = data:GetAngles()
local emitter = ParticleEmitter( vOffset, false )
for i=0, self.particles do
local particle = emitter:Add( "effects/softglow", vOffset )
if ( particle ) then
particle:SetAngles( vAngle )
particle:SetVelocity( Vector( 0, 0, 15 ) )
particle:SetColor( 255, 102, 0 )
particle:SetLifeTime( 0 )
particle:SetDieTime( 0.2 )
particle:SetStartAlpha( 255 )
particle:SetEndAlpha( 0 )
particle:SetStartSize( 1.6 )
particle:SetStartLength( 1 )
particle:SetEndSize( 1.2 )
particle:SetEndLength( 4 )
end
end
emitter:Finish()
end
[/CODE]
Not sure though if I need it or not :s
As I said, I'm really new and would like some help, thanks alot!
Try looking at other Pointshop stuff or default GMod trials
Already done, still nothing.
