New Precipitation - How can I get the little splashes?

by Adam deGrandis · in Torque Game Engine · 07/16/2004 (8:44 am) · 2 replies

In the screenshots for the fixed precipitation, there are particle splashes that happen when a drop hits the ground. I was just wondering how to get that up and working. Im assuming its something with the precipitation datablock, but Im not sure.

So.... can anyone help?

All you need is a splash texture, and to enable collision on the precipitation object. The splash texture is one texture that has one frame in each corner, for a total of 4 frames.

i.e.
